Three semi tractors were involved in an injury crash early Friday morning on the Kansas Turnpike in Lyon County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported the collision occurred around 5:12 a.m. Nov. 21 on I-35 at mile marker 119.8. Troopers said the first vehicle, a 2007 semi driven by 22-year-old Jacob Alan Diamond of Hastings, Michigan, was disabled in the median and across both driving lanes when a second semi made contact.
Investigators said the trailer of the second vehicle, a 2024 semi driven by 52-year-old Samuel Leonardo Belle of Phoenix, Arizona, became draped over a barrier wall with the rest of the truck stretched across the northbound lanes and right shoulder. A third semi, driven by 60-year-old Robert Alan Wynn of Leon, was unable to stop and struck the trailer before coming to rest on its wheels.
Wynn was transported to St. Francis Hospital with possible injuries and complaints of pain. Belle also reported possible injuries but was not transported. Diamond was not injured, according to the patrol.
All drivers were reported to have been wearing seat belts. The crash remains under investigation by the Kansas Highway Patrol.
