A Wichita man was taken to Newman Regional Health following a two-semi collision in Lyon County early Friday.
According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the accident was reported at 8 am at Kansas Turnpike Mile Marker 140.1 northbound. The KHP says a 2021 Freightliner driven by 30-year-old Cody Caylor of Earlham, Iowa, was traveling in the right lane and “unaware of how slow” a 1998 Kenworth semi, driven by 28-year-old Krimsun Tincher of Wichita, was traveling.
