Three people were injured in two related crashes late Friday night on K-18 eastbound, about half a mile east of the K-114 junction.
The first incident occurred around 11:35 p.m. when 18-year-old Trinity Sproul of Wamego lost control of her 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer and struck a parked 2007 Pontiac G6 on the shoulder. The Pontiac then hit two pedestrians who were standing in front of the vehicle. The pedestrians—29-year-old Koltyn Moore of Manhattan and 40-year-old Rod Marti of Milwaukee, Wisconsin—were both transported to Ascension Via Christi in Manhattan with suspected serious injuries. Sproul reported possible injuries but was not transported.
Shortly after the initial crash, a second vehicle traveling eastbound—a 2014 Chevrolet Cruz driven by 34-year-old Frank Macias of Upland, California—struck debris from the first crash. Macias was also taken to Via Christi with suspected minor injuries.
