RENO COUNTY— A Haven man was taken to a local hospital after an accident Thursday morning in Reno County.
According to the Reno County Sheriff's Office, at 5:50 a.m., deputies were dispatched to the intersection of K-96 highway and Arlington Rd. for an injury accident. A Ford Ranger, driven by 58-year-old Rex Fishburn of Haven was in the south ditch and a Chevy Impala driven by 20-year-old Jakob Imig of Wichita was in the north ditch.
Deputies believe the Impala came from behind and struck the Ranger in the rear. This collision caused Fishburn to lose control of his vehicle, leave the roadway to the left, cross the median, cross both lanes of east bound traffic, and come to a rest in the ditch.
Fishburn reported neck and head injuries and was transported by Haven EMS to a local hospital for his injuries. Imig was not hurt. Both drivers were buckled up.
