Two pickup trucks collided at the intersection of U.S. 77 and Cedar Road about five miles north of Junction City Wednesday evening.

The Junction Fire Department confirmed two people were transported to Geary Community Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries, complaining of neck and back pain. Two others were treated at the scene and released.  The names of the people in the accident are not yet available from the Geary County Sheriff’s Department. The two pickup trucks were totaled.

One of those involved in the accident was trapped inside one of the vehicles. Fire Department Battalion Chief Bill Kausler said it was a high-speed T-Bone type accident, and when firefighters / EMS arrived on the scene both vehicles were on their side. “Three individuals were out of their vehicles and one was entrapped.”

To remove the person entrapped the vehicle had to be stabilized. “My guests performed an extrication and got the gentleman out of the passenger door.”

While they were on scene one of the pickup truck’s engine compartments caught on fire and had to be put out.  That was not the vehicle where the victim was trapped inside.
