RENO COUNTY, Kan. —One person was injured in an accident just before 2:30 p.m. Friday in Reno County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2019 Ford Edge driven by Hugh Mann Proffitt, 43, Hutchinson, was westbound on K96 at South Obee Road in the right lane.  The driver failed to maintain the lane. The SUV veered onto the right shoulder and struck a legally-parked 2020 Dodge Ram. After impact, the SUV rotated clockwise, rolled three times and came to a rest on its roof.

EMS transported Proffitt to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.  The pickup was unoccupied. Proffitt and a passenger in the SUV were wearing their seatbelts, according to the KHP.
