HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Reno County Sheriff's Office took a report from the contractor working on the K-14 West 4th Avenue interchange that someone drove through the work zone damaging a portion of the work site.

The driver went through a section of wet concrete on Tuesday causing about $40,000 in damage and forcing crews to tear out that section of the road and start over. KDOT spokesperson Tim Potter says the area measured about 18 feet by 50 feet.

Potter says the damage will delay the project by about two days. The work is now projected to finish up August 13, weather permitting.
