A two-vehicle accident on Interstate 70 near the 301 exit by Marshall Army Airfield early Saturday afternoon resulted in four people being taken to Geary Community Hospital in Junction City.

According to Garry Berges, Geary County Emergency Management Director, a pickup was westbound on the interstate, when it hit an object in the roadway, lost control, went across the median and hit an eastbound car before coming to rest in a ditch on the south side of the highway.

The woman driving the pickup was transported to Geary Community Hospital, along with three people in the car including a man and two children. Their  injuries were non-life threatening. There was a traffic backup for about 45 minutes.

More details including the identities of those injured have not yet been released. We will update the story as information becomes available.
