An Emporia man suffered minor injuries, however, nobody required a trip to the hospital following a two-vehicle collision west of Emporia late Sunday morning.
Emergency crews were called to the 600 block of US Highway 50, two miles west of town, for an injury accident originally believed to have involved three vehicles. According to Emporia Fire, once they arrived on scene it was discovered only two vehicles were involved and the third vehicle was a passerby who stopped following the accident.
Lyon County Deputy Brandon Early says a 2011 Ford Ranger Pickup driven by 91-year-old Myron Hinze of Emporia was preparing to turn onto Highway 50 from the Fannestil Meats parking lot and failed to yield to a westbound 2014 Chevrolet Cruze, driven by a 26-year-old Jose Guzman-Escobar of Dodge City. The Cruze t-boned the Ranger on the rear driver’s side door disabling both vehicles.
Hinze suffered a laceration to his arm and was treated at the scene, but declined a trip to the hospital. Hinze’s wife, name and hometown not listed, Guzman-Escobar and four passengers in the Chevrolet Cruze were all examined at the scene but declined medical treatment.
All involved were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.
