A Shawnee man was hurt in a crash in western Osage County on Wednesday.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says the wreck happened shortly before 5:30 pm at Kansas Turnpike mile marker 160.4 northbound, about 13 miles northeast of the Admire exit and 33 miles northeast of the Emporia gate. The driver, 68-year-old Carol Kenney of Shawnee, said she fell asleep at the wheel. She overcorrected, sending her pickup into a guard rail before it rolled into a ditch.
Carol Kenney wasn’t hurt, but 73-year-old Raymond Kenney suffered apparently minor injuries and was taken to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka for treatment. Both were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
