Wichita, KS (October 25, 2024) – A serious two-vehicle accident occurred early Friday morning in the westbound lanes of Kellogg near Interstate 235, resulting in one individual sustaining potentially serious injuries. The incident was reported around 6 a.m., prompting a rapid response from local law enforcement and emergency services.
Preliminary reports indicate that the crash involved a car and a pickup truck. Images from WichWay.org, a service provided by the Kansas Department of Transportation, depicted a car resting against the Kellogg barrier wall, while the pickup was found in the grass on the north side of the roadway.
