At around 12:19 p.m. Friday, emergency responders from the Ellis County Sheriff’s office, Ellis County Emergency Medical Services and the Kansas Highway Patrol responded to an injury accident involving two vehicles approximately two miles north of Hays on U.S. Highway 183.

A southbound  vehicle drive by a rural mail carrier was slowing to turn right into a driveway.  A southbound pickup behind the mail car failed to slow down, striking the car vehicle from behind, according to officers at the scene.

The car spun and came to a rest in the driveway facing the highway. The truck continued forward, coming to a rest on the west side of the highway.

Both drivers refused medical treatment at the scene.

Mail being transported by the carrier was collected and was delivered by another vehicle that later arrived at the scene.
