A Sublette man and a Dighton man suffered suspected minor injuries in an accident involving a semi and a pickup Tuesday afternoon in Lane County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported around 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, a 2004 Freightliner and a 2019 Ford F250 were traveling northbound on Kansas Highway 23 with the semi behind the pickup.
KHP said the pickup began to do a left turn onto Lane County Road 200, and while turning, the semi tried to pass on the left, causing it to crash into the pickup.
The Freightliner’s driver, 63-year-old Ben R. Fehr of Sublette, and the F250’s driver, Jesse R. Beesley of Dighton, 32, of Dighton, were taken to Lane County Hospital with suspected minor injuries. Both drivers were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.
