Lyndon, KS (August 3, 2024) – Two drivers were hurt after a collision in the Lyndon area on Friday, August 2. The accident was reported at the intersection of K-31 WB and Jordan Road that night around 7:43 p.m. Local reports revealed that a 2021 GMC Sierra 150 and a 2008 Ford Expedition EMS vehicles were traveling westbound at the time of the crash.
Local reports revealed that the driver of the GMC, 45-year-old Clinton W. Fagen of Shawnee, pulled onto the shoulder to make a U-turn. The driver of the EMS, 62-year-old Gary D.
