Farmington, KS (March 6, 2024) – Early on Tuesday morning, March 5, there were confirmed injuries after a two-vehicle crash in the Farmington area. The accident took place at the intersection of US-50 and NE 110th Avenue early that morning at around 10:13 a.m. Local sources indicated that a 58-year-old Mackville man was driving a 2011 International feed truck headed southbound when he stopped at a stop sign.
At the same time, a 2017 Toyota Corolla driven by a 39-year-old Garden City woman was traveling eastbound on the highway. A 40-year-old man and three juveniles were also in the Toyota at the time of the crash. The Mackville man entered the intersection and failed to yield to the oncoming car, and the two vehicles collided.
The driver of the Corolla was hurt, and the adult passenger suffered serious injuries. Both were hospitalized for treatment. Local reports did not reveal if the juveniles were hurt in the crash. An ongoing investigation into the cause of the accident is being managed by local law enforcement officials.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
