Two people were taken to the hospital Tuesday evening following a three-vehicle crash in Manhattan.
Riley County Police say officers responded to the scene around 6:46 p.m. Nov. 18 near Hayes Drive and McCall Road. Investigators reported that a 2014 Ford Focus driven by 71-year-old Randy Welter of Manhattan failed to yield while making a left-hand turn, causing a 2015 Chrysler 200 driven by 19-year-old Callen Barta, also of Manhattan, to crash into it.
After the initial collision, Barta’s vehicle struck a 2016 Toyota Corolla driven by 18-year-old Jackson West of Manhattan while attempting to stop.
Welter and his passenger, 65-year-old Teresa Frazier of Manhattan, were transported to Via Christi for treatment. Police issued Welter a citation for failure to yield the right of way.
