A two vehicle accident Monday sent 4 people to the hospital with possible injuries. According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, the accident happened on highway 183 about 3 miles north of Stockton. A northbround 2002 Peterbilt semi truck driven by 39 year old Roy E Guy III of Pawnee Rock was slowing down at an intersection to make a left turn. A second vehicle, a 2007 Freightliner semi truck driven by 34 year old Misgina H Meresa of Stone Mountain, GA attempted to pass the first vehicle on the left side, striking the Peterbilt on the front driver’s side fender.

Guy then steered the vehicle into the east ditch coming to rest facing northeast. Meresa steered the Freightliner into the west ditch then overcorrected and caused the vehicle to overturn onto the driver’s side facing northeast.  Both drivers were wearing seat belts.

Both vehicles had one passenger.  In the first semi was 47 year old Calvin Neal Jr. of Oklahoma City, OK, who was wearing a seat belt.  The passenger in the second truck, 45 year old Adugna K Ferede of Clarkston, GA, had been asleep in the sleeper section of the truck during the accident.  All four were taken to Rooks County Health Center with possible injuries.
