One person was taken to Newman Regional Health after a vehicle fell on him Saturday afternoon.
Emporia-Lyon County EMS says the incident near 15th and Prairie happened around 4 pm. The vehicle was on jacks at the time of the accident. Other incident details are pending, but Emporia Fire says the person suffered injuries that were not apparently serious.
Separately, a reported injury crash on the Kansas Turnpike northeast of Emporia led to no hospital transports about an hour later.
The crash happened around 5 pm at mile marker 134 southbound, seven miles northeast of the Emporia gate and two miles northeast of the Emporia service exit. The Kansas Highway Patrol says a car driven by 17-year-old Jason Racine of Wichita rear-ended a truck driven by 33-year-old Aleksandr Borzenkov of Brooklyn, New York. Only Borzenkov reported minor injuries afterward.
