LOGAN COUNTY — Two people were injured in an accident just before 9p.m. Monday in Logan County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2013 Freightliner semi driven by Jesus M. Cardenas-Murrieta, 43, Mexicali, Mexico, was eastbound on Interstate 70 in the driving lane.

The driver was unable to slow quickly enough behind a 2007 Honda Civic driven by Gary B. Wesler, 64, Lakewood, CO. that slowed suddenly.

The semi driver over-corrected. The vehicle traveled off the roadway to the right struck the Toyota and jackknifed in the south ditch.

Cardenas-Murrieta and Wesler were transported to Logan County Hospital. Both were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.
