A pair of Missouri residents involved in an early morning crash on the Kansas Turnpike Friday have been taken into law enforcement custody.
31-year-old Raydel Nunez of St. Joseph was booked into the Lyon County Jail Friday on suspicion of aggravated kidnapping and aggravated battery. Meanwhile, 35-year-old Yanara Manressa Nunez, originally listed as Manressa Nunez, also of St. Joseph, was booked into the jail on an unspecified Governor’s warrant of arrest.
Formal charges are currently pending. Both individuals were involved in a crash at Emporia’s Turnpike tollgate before 2:15 am.
Kansas Highway Patrol Troopers say Raydel Nunez was traveling northbound and ignored construction zone cones before driving on top of the toll plaza’s concrete barrier and flipping his utility vehicle onto its roof.
Both individuals were taken to Newman Regional Health with suspected minor injuries. Neither were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.
