ALMA – Three people were injured in an accident just before 4:30 p.m. on Sunday in Wabaunsee County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2011 Ford Taurus driven by Ronald M. Stoss, 64, Great Bend, was westbound on Interstate 70 over K99 three miles north of Alma. The driver failed to observe vehicles slowing due to an accident.
