VICTORIA — Two people were injured in an accident just after 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in Ellis County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2004 Buick passenger vehicle driven by Myra J. Kirkelie, 75, Colorado Springs, Colo., was westbound on Interstate 70, approximately 1 mile east of Victoria.

The sedan, traveling west on I-70, drifted onto the north shoulder, according to an eyewitness report. The vehicle then overcorrected and drove across the roadway into the median, hitting the eastbound guardrail. The vehicle flipped in the median trapping the driver inside the overturned vehicle.

Kirkelie and a passenger, Dennis K. Kirkelie, 75, Colorado Springs, were transported to Hays Medical Center.

They were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.
