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.
