STAFFORD COUNTY—A Turon teen was injured in an accident just after 10 a.m. Monday in Stafford County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2011 Ford Expedition driven by 16-year-old Taylor Vincent Vagts-Newell of Turon was northbound on SE 110th Avenue one mile south of SE 80th and a 2009 Terr Gator driven by 33-year-old Zeke William Dickson of Turon was eastbound on SE 70th Street.

Both vehicles entered the intersection at the same time. The Ford rear-ended the Gator.   The impact pushed the Gator into the north ditch and it rolled.

EMS transported Vagts-Newell to the hospital in Stafford.  He was not wearing a seat belt, according to the KHP. Dickson was not injured.
