Two people were injured in a one-vehicle accident about 7:40 Monday morning in Ellis County.

According to the Highway Patrol, 36-year-old Melissa Sue Proctor of Hays was driving a 2003 GMC Envoy eastbound on I-70.  One mile west of the Commerce Parkway exit, a vehicle attempted to pass Proctor’s vehicle.  Proctor slammed on the brakes, causing her to lose control of the vehicle, which crossed the median and the westbound lanes. Proctor’s vehicle then went through the north ditch and into a K-DOT fence.

Proctor and her 15-year-old passenger,  Bo Neely of Hays,  were transported to Hays Medical Center.  Both were wearing seatbelts.
