Two rural Ellis County residents were injured in a weather related one-vehicle roll-over accident Tuesday night.

Ellis County Sheriff Ed Harbin says the accident occurred around 7:30 one-half mile east of Home Depot on Vineyard Road. A Jeep Wrangler driven by 18-year-old Riley Kaus was eastbound and slid on the snow packed road. The Jeep went into the north ditch and rolled onto the driver’s side.

Both Riley Kaus and his sister, 17-year-old Madison, were taken to HaysMed where they were flown to a Wichita hospital. Both were wearing seatbelts.
