An Emporia woman and two Olpe residents were transported from the scene of a vehicle accident south of Emporia Friday afternoon.
According to the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office, a 2004 Ford F-150 pickup driven by 55-year-old Malene Lamoureux of Emporia was westbound on Road 150 when Lamoureux lost control on the gravel road. The pickup then slid into a ditch and struck a culvert.
Lamoureux was trapped inside the pickup and had to be extricated by Lyon County EMS. Two passengers, 35-year-old Subrena Roby and 15-year-old Selena Roby of Olpe, both managed to get out of the pickup by themselves before help arrived at the scene.
All three individuals were taken to Newman Regional Health. Both Roby’s were transported with suspected minor injuries while Lamoureux was transported with suspected moderate to serious injuries.
Lamoureux was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the accident. Selena and Subrena Roby were not.
