Debris in the roadway is being blamed for causing a crash that injured one person Monday afternoon on Interstate 70 in Geary County.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 53-year-old Neal Wheatley of Chapman was driving eastbound in his 2019 Dodge Caravan near mile post 292 when he braked suddenly to avoid a ladder spotted in the right lane. As he braked, his van was rear-ended by a 2015 Subaru Outback, driven by 42-year-old Kyle Olson, of Yorktown, Virginia.
Wheatley was transported to Stormont Vail Hospital in Junction City with minor injuries. Olson had no apparent injuries.
Police say Wheatley was not wearing a seat belt
