Man, 56, seriously injured in pickup track crash on Kansas Turnpike south of Wellington

WELLINGTON, Kan. (WIBW) - A man suffered serious injuries in a crash early Monday on Interstate 35 along the Kansas Turnpike south of Wichita.

The crash was reported at 5:50 a.m. Monday on I-35 in Sumner County, about seven miles south of Wellington in Sumner County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol said a 2010 Ford F-150 pickup truck was headed north on I-35 when it went into the ditch. The driver then over-corrected and the vehicle punched through the wall before coming to rest in the inside median of the southbound lanes.

The driver, John Buck, 56, of Hutchinson, was transported to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita with serious injuries. The patrol’s online crash log didn’t indicate whether Buck, who was alone in the truck, was wearing his seat belt.
