HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two teens was injured in a one-vehicle accident in the city Thursday.

Hutchinson Police say an SUV was going south on Elm, just south of 12th Avenue, at a high rate of speed when the driver lost control and struck a utility pole, snapping it in two. Luckily, the pole stayed upright even after it was broken in two. Seventeen-year-old Diana Dominiquez and her passenger, 17-year-old Taylor Friesen, were taken by Reno County EMS to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center for treatment for what were believed to be minor injuries.

Elm between 11th and 12th Avenues was blocked off most of the afternoon while Westar crews made repairs.
