Three people were hospitalized Monday night in a wreck on K-18 near the airport.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the crash occurred when a Ford Fusion rear-ended a Lexus in the eastbound lanes, shortly before 9 p.m. The crash led to traffic being diverted in the area for a short time.
Among those injured were the driver of the Fusion, 24-year-old Jacob Crawford, of Fort Gordon, Georgia. The driver of the Lexus, 45-year-old Jeremy Harper, of Junction City and a passenger, 45-year-old Kristen Centlivre were also injured.
