Separate accidents send 2 to hospital

HUTCHINSON, Kan. – A 57-year-old woman reports losing control of her vehicle and rolling it in the 5200 block of South K-96 highway Monday evening.

Martie Black of Haven was found laying on the ground next to the vehicle and was being tended to by medical personnel. Witnesses were located on the scene as they had not only seen the accident but came back to assist.

It was determined that Black was northbound when she exited the left side of the roadway and entered into the center grass median. Black then attempted to steer back onto the road but overcorrected. This caused her to cross the center line, exit the right side of the roadway, strike a metal gate and a tree. Striking the tree caused the vehicle to roll onto its passenger side. This is where the vehicle stopped.

The accident which occurred just after 7 p.m. is still under investigation.

And earlier in the day Monday, a vehicle being operated by 23-year-old Jessica Hemken of Hutchinson failed to yield the right of way to a vehicle driven by 35-year-old Erienne Dickinson of Wellington. This occurred at the intersection of Ave D and Main St, in South Hutchinson.

Dickinson and eight other occupants in the vehicle were not injured, however, Hemken was transported to Hutch Regional Medical Center with minor injuries.

This accident occurring around 12:35 p.m.
