HAYS- A Rush County woman was injured in an accident just before 2 p.m. on Monday in Ellis County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2004 Ford E350 driven by Jacqueline A. Lattin, 38, Hays, was southbound on U.S.183 a mile south of Mount Pleasant Road.

The KHP said the vehicle failed to yield right of way and turned left into a private drive in front of a 2005 Chevy Malibu driven by Kimberly D. Brungardt, 31, Liebenthal, that was northbound.

The Chevy made an evasive maneuver to avoid the Ford, entered the east ditch and hit a culvert.

Brungardt was transported to Hays Medical Center. Lattin and five passengers in the Ford were not injured.
The KHP reported all were properly restrained at the time of the accident.
