Two men were hospitalized Thursday morning following a semi crash on Interstate 70 near Todd Ranch Road.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the crash happened around 6:05 a.m. in the westbound lanes at mile marker 343. Troopers say a 2026 Peterbilt semi left the roadway to the right and came to rest in a ditch.
The driver, 48-year-old Kenneth Tate of Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and a passenger, 33-year-old Nicholas Lorthe of Tuscaloosa, Alabama, were transported to Stormont Vail Hospital with suspected minor injuries.
The patrol reports Tate was wearing a seat belt, while Lorthe was not restrained as he was in the cab’s sleeper area at the time of the crash.
