HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Kansas Department of transportation is waiting for findings from the

Kansas Highway Patrol investigation into Monday morning’s crash that killed two Sterling College students.

The accident between a car and semi happened at Sego and US 50, which is now a major detour for K-Dot while it replaces a bridge on K-61 near Arlington. The bridge project is moving K-61 traffic onto Sego and then onto US 50.

K-Dot’s Zach Oswald says the KHP’s Critical Highway Accident Response Team is looking over the accident and may request various measures to improve safety at the intersection. Oswald says such possibilities include moving the detour to another route, placing rumble strips and flashing lights at the intersection, or other measures to alert motorists to the increased traffic in the area.

RENO COUNTY — Two people died in an accident just before 7:30 a.m. on Monday in Reno County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2014 Chevy Cruz driven by Esther G. Jenkerson, 21, Datil, New Mexico, was northbound on Sego Road fourteen miles west of South Hutchinson.

The driver pulled out from the Stop sign on Sego Road in front of a semi that was westbound on U.S. 50.

The semi hit the passenger side of the Chevy.

The Chevy entered the north ditch and overturned.

Jenkerson and a passenger, Xavier C. Bradford, 25, Lancaster, California, were pronounced dead at the scene and transported to the Sedgwick County Forensics Center. They were students at Sterling College.

The semi driver, Edwin G. Lehmann, 59, Lehigh, was not injured.

All three were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people have been killed in an accident involving a semi and passenger
vehicle this morning.

Few details are still available but the Kansas Highway Patrol reports that the accident did involve a semi and a second vehicle at the intersection of US-50 and Sego Rd. The accident happened around 7:25 a.m.

The intersection is part of the detour involving the K-61 bridge project near Arlington, and has increased traffic at that intersection bringing all K-61 traffic as well as normal US-50 traffic to that area.

No names have been released at this time.

The Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University conducted a poll from Nov. 1 through Nov. 3 to measure respondents’ preferences in the upcoming election on Tuesday, according to a media release from FHSU.

Results for this poll showed Donald Trump (58%) holds a 24-point lead over Hillary Clinton (34%), up from the 8-point lead showed in the Kansas Speaks survey released on Oct. 30, which had a data collection period of Sept. 1 to Oct. 13.

U.S. Sen. Jerry Moran (77%) is up 64 points from challengers Patrick Wiesner (13%) and Robert Garrard (10%) and appears to be comfortably on track to secure his seat for another six years.

The retention vote for five justices of the Kansas Supreme Court seems close with 40 percent of likely voters saying they will “Retain All” justices, while 25 percent say they will “Retain Some” and 24 percent saying they will “Retain None” of the Kansas Supreme Court justices up for retention.

When broken down by each justice, the numbers show:

• Chief Justice Lawton Nuss – 46 percent of likely voters said they would retain, while 35 percent said they would not retain, and 19 percent said they don’t know.

• Justice Marla Luckert – 46 percent of likely voters said they would retain, while 35 percent said they would not retain, and 19 percent said they don’t know.

• Justice Carol Beier– 46 percent of likely voters said they would retain, while 35 percent said they would not retain, and 19 percent said they don’t know.

• Justice Daniel Biles– 46 percent of likely voters said they would retain, while 35 percent said they would not retain, and 19 percent said they don’t know.

• Justice Caleb Stegall – 52 percent of likely voters said they would retain, while 29 percent said they would not retain, and 19 percent said they don’t know.

The Docking Institute contacted a total of 753 Kansas residents by cellular and landline telephone, with 346 of them completing the survey. With a cooperation rate of 46 percent, and with 313 of the respondents identified as likely voters, the result is a margin of error of plus or minus 5.5 percent at the 95-percent confidence level.

A margin of error of 5.5 percent means a 95-percent probability that findings among the sample vary no more than plus or minus 5.5 percent from the value that would be found if all adult Kansas residents were surveyed.

HARVEY COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are searching for two people accused in connection with Sunday’s triple homicide in Harvey County.

Sheriff T. Walton says in a posting on his department’s Facebook page that 35-year-old Jereme Nelson and 31-year-old Myrta Rangel are charged in arrest warrants with capital murder and three counts of first-degree murder.

Their bond has been set at $1 million each, and the sheriff’s department believes they are in Oklahoma.

The bodies of 33-year-old Travis Street, 37-year-old Angela Graevs and the couple’s Newton friend, 52-year-old Richard Prouty were found Sunday outside a home in a rural area near Moundridge. The victims had been shot.

Harvey County Prosecuting Attorney David Yoder says the motive for the killings appears to be drug-related.

WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Authorities say multiple people may have been involved in the deadly shootings of three people in rural central Kansas.

The Wichita Eagle reports that Harvey County Sheriff T. Walton wouldn’t elaborate Wednesday or say how many people may have been involved in the killings. He discussed the possibility of multiple suspects a couple of hours after authorities said a 35-year-old man is being sought for questioning.

The victims have been identified as 33-year-old Travis Street, 37-year-old Angela Graevs and the couple’s Newton friend, 52-year-old Richard Prouty. Their bodies and the couple’s unharmed 18-month-old were found Sunday outside a home in a rural area south of Moundridge. The couple was facing drug and child

endangerment charges.

Harvey County Attorney David Yoder says the motive appears to be drug-related.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The Hutchinson School District is asking students to refrain from using a certain type of cologne or deodorant after it caused a severe reaction to one of its students on several occasions.

The cologne in question is Axe, which is widely popular among students, but has been known to cause health issues in some students. One of them is Tori Lehr, who is a student at Hutch High.

Tori’s Mother, Teresa Lehr, gave us permission to talk about this matter in hopes it will get the word out about the use of Axe. Tori’s contact with Axe has caused a severe neurological reaction, which has caused Tori to lose muscle control and faint. This has happened on several occasions. It is not an allergic reaction, but a neurological episode.

There have been other cases of allergic and asthmatic reactions from those who have come in contact with the spray, including a Pennsylvania boy who must be home schooled. Axe does not fully disclose its ingredients, but it does contain several chemicals that can be harmful including butane, Isopropyl Myristate which is used to kill head lice. Another ingredient in the spray is Aluminum Tetrachlorohydrex Glycine, which can cause neurotoxic effects in humans. Of course any spray that a person inhales on purpose can be life threatening.

The district was sending a message asking parents to stop their children from using Axe spray if attending school and to wash clothing that may have Axe residue on them. The district is asking for students to show compassion in this matter.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — The YMCA was at Gowans Stadium for the annual Super Bowl Sunday when a robbery took place.

A gatekeeper was approached by a white male in a Salthawk hoodie with the number “22.”

The man asked the ticket taker if he had seen a female and pointed in the direction she might be.

When the gatekeeper turned to look, the suspect grabbed his blue bank bag full of cash and took off running. It is uncertain if the suspect still has the money bag in his possession.

The male, said to be in his 40s and of slender build, made off with an undetermined amount of cash.

The hoodie was gray and the man is possibly 6 feet in stature. He also had some facial hair around his cheeks and chin.

If you have any information about this man, please contact the local authorities, or comment below.
