Two people were hospitalized after a car/vehicle collision in rural Trego County on Sunday.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2008 Kia Amanti, driven by Michelle Danielle Hafliger, 41, Ogallah, was traveling southbound when it approached the intersection and failed to yield.

The train struck the passenger side rear quarter panel, sending the car into the east ditch, where it came to rest on its wheels.

The driver and a passenger — Bryn C. Hafliger, 16, Ogallah — were reportedly injured and taken to the hospital.

The train’s engineer and conductor — Maurice Dingemanse, Manhattan, and Dennis Thompson, Wellington — were not injured, according to the KHP.
