RENO COUNTY—A Hutchinson woman was injured in an accident just after 4:30 p.m. Thursday in Reno County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2002 Toyota Camry driven by 87-year-old Mary Emma Zook of Hutchinson was northbound on Dean Road and stopped at the stop sign at the intersection with U.S. 50 five miles west of South Hutchinson, when the Toyota then pulled into the intersection and struck the trailer on a 2023 Peterbilt semi driven by 23-year-old Jeffrey Allen Nelson of Bruce, Wisconsin.
The impact caused the Toyota to spin into the south shoulder of U.S 50 where it came to rest. The setting sun may have affected visibility for the driver of the Toyota.
EMS transported Zook to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center. Nelson and a passenger in the Toyota were not injured. All three were properly restrained, according to the KHP.
