CLOUD COUNTY—One person was injured in an accident just after 2p.m. Tuesday in Cloud County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2004 Chrysler Town and Country driven by Cindy Lou Erickson, 55, Chester, NE. was northbound on U.S. 81 four miles north of Concordia.
The driver swerved to avoid a southbound 2005 Freightliner semi driven by Tanner Hatten Gilbert, 23, Concordia, that was going to make a right turn onto Wagon Road. The van traveled into the east ditch and struck an embankment.
EMS transported Erickson to the Cloud County Health Center. Gilbert was not injured. Both drivers were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.
