Three Lawrence residents suffered injuries after a wreck in Osage County on Tuesday evening.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says an SUV driven by 41-year-old Linsey Moddlemog was northbound on the Kansas Turnpike when the crash happened shortly after 7:30 pm. Moddlemog reported possibly falling asleep at the wheel. Her vehicle went off the highway into a ditch about 35 miles northeast of Emporia before going airborne and striking an embankment on the far side of a rock washout ditch.
Moddlemog and two young passengers, 11-year-old Harrison Schmidt and 8-year-old Oliver Schmidt, all went to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka for treatment — Moddlemog and Oliver Schmidt for suspected serious injuries, Harrison Schmidt for possibly minor injuries. All three were wearing seatbelts.
