WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) — An 18-year-old Texas man was life-flighted to Wichita after a head-on collision with a Freightliner in Chase County Saturday.
The Kansas Highway Patrol Crash Log says the crash happened just before 1 p.m. The man — who was from Saginaw, Texas — was driving a Nissan pickup east on Highway 50 just east of Kansas Highway 177 and attempted to pass a semi truck in a no-passing zone.
He entered the westbound lane and collided with a 2018 Freightliner. KHP Dispatch told KSN the man was taken by air to a Wichita hospital.
The other driver was not injured.
