FINNEY COUNTY—Law enforcement are investigating a rollover accident that occurred just after 3:30a.m. Sunday in Finney County.
According to Garden City Police, the crash occurred at the US Highway 50/83 bypass south junction. First responds found a Ford Explorer on its top.
The 22-year-old driver managed to climb out of the vehicle on his own. Finney County EMS transported him to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
He was the sole occupant of the vehicle. The investigation indicates the SUV was southbound at a high rate of speed and was witnessed weaving in and out of their lane. After entering a construction zone, the vehicle’s front left wheel struck a concrete barrier, displacing several sections. The impact caused the Explorer to roll over on its roof and slide before coming to a rest.
Traffic was diverted for nearly 2.5 hours while first responders managed the scene and Kansas Department of Transportation crews repositioned the concrete barriers. Police released no additional details.
