A Council Grove woman suffered potentially serious injuries after a crash near Topeka on Tuesday morning.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 23-year-old Levi Koepsel was northbound on the Kansas Turnpike when a semi truck used the inside lane to pass his SUV around 7 am. Koepsel went onto the right shoulder, overcorrected across both lanes of travel and hit the center barrier wall.
Koepsel was not hurt, but his passenger, 49-year-old Lora Koepsel, suffered suspected serious injuries and was taken to Stormont-Vail Hospital for treatment. Both were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
