BARTON COUNTY — A Kansas teen was injured in an accident just after 3p.m. Monday in Barton County.

A 2001 Cadillac Deville driven by Ashley F. Vanaman, 17, Hoisington, failed to stop before entering U.S. 281 at north East 30 Road, according to the Barton County Sheriff’s Department.

The Cadillac collided with a southbound 1998 Buick Century driven by Janel S. Tracy, 35, Great Bend.

The Cadillac continued eastbound, crashed through a fence and came to stop in a pasture. Hoisington EMS transported Vanaman to Great Bend Regional Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the sheriff’s department.
