Two Emporians and two Franklin County residents were hurt as part of a wreck on Emporia’s north edge Sunday evening.
Lyon County Sergeant Zach Shafer says the wreck on Interstate 35 near the Merchant Street exit happened shortly before 6 pm. A car driven by 24-year-old Hannah Pope of Emporia rear-ended a car driven by 85-year-old Janette Reh (RAY) of Richmond.
Pope and a 3-year-old passenger were taken to Newman Regional Health, as were Reh and her passenger, 79-year-old Lawrence Reh. Injuries are not believed to be life-threatening for any of the four patients. All involved were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
