KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three people were seriously injured, including two teenagers, in a crash late Tuesday night along U.S. 169 Highway in Spring Hill, Kansas.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says just before 11 p.m. Tuesday, a 15-year-old Spring Hill boy was driving a 2027 Ford Super Duty F-250 south on U.S. 169 and was in the turn lane to go east on W. 199th Street.
At the same time, a 63-year-old Reeds, Missouri, man was driving a 2025 Freightliner tractor-trailer north on U.S. 169 with a green light at the intersection.
As the tractor-trailer entered the intersection, the F-250 turned in front of the tractor-trailer.
The force of the collision caused the tractor-trailer to turn over onto the driver’s side and into the right ditch of northbound U.S. 169. The F-250 also wound up in the right ditch.
The driver of the F-250 and a 16-year-old female passenger were both transported to a nearby hospital for treatment of serious injuries.
The driver of the tractor-trailer was also hospitalized for treatment of serious injuries.
