Alma, KS (November 3, 2024) – Two people were injured after a two-vehicle collision in the Alma area on Saturday, November 2. The accident took place on Interstate 70 WB near Spring Creek Road at around 5:55 p.m. Local reports revealed that 20-year-old Carsyn C. Frieden of Cheney was driving a 2016 Buick passenger car traveling westbound when the car hydroplaned and left the road to the right.
The Buick hit a 2006 Chevrolet pickup truck driven by 43-year-old Ryan E. Theel of Alma, who was merging onto the interstate. The Buick rolled and came to a rest in a north ditch off the highway. Both Frieden and his passenger, 20-year-old Abigail D. Pegues of Altamont, were injured in the crash. Emergency crews were rushed to the scene to provide aid to the involved parties. Both victims were transported by ambulance to Ascension Via Christi-Manhattan. No further information on the accident is currently available.

Our thoughts are with Carsyn C. Frieden, Abigail D. Pegues, and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Rollover Accidents in Kansas
A rollover collision can be extremely dangerous. If a passenger is not strapped up when the crash happens, they could be thrown from the vehicle and suffer serious injuries. According to the most recent crash statistics, rollovers represent less than 3 percent of reported crashes but approximately 33 percent of all reported road fatalities annually. The majority of these fatalities involve unrestrained passengers, who are at greater risk of being ejected in the event of a rollover.
