A Junction City woman has been upgraded to fair condition Monday at Stormont Vail following a Riley county accident Friday night.
Elisa Mendoza-Morales, 19, was a passenger in a vehicle driven by Joshua Beverly, 22, of Fort Riley. The Kansas Highway patrol reports Beverly driving westbound on I-70, when he exited at the Deep Creek Road exit, at milepost 316. As the vehicle left the concrete portion of Deep Creek Road, it entered the gravel portion of Mineral Springs Road at which time the driver lost control and the vehicle traveled to the west ditch and rolled several times.
Beverly was taken to Mercy Regional Health Center where he was admitted. He was still listed as a patient as of Monday. A third passenger, Phillip Neu, 20, of Junction City, was taken to Mercy Regional Health Center, where he was treated and released.
