SHERMAN COUNTY — Four people were injured in three separate accidents just after midnight Thursday in Sherman County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2017 Freightliner semi driven by Herman A Massey, 43, St. Matthews, SC, was westbound on Interstate 70 just east of Goodland in the passing lane when it struck a bull. The accident prompted two additional accidents.

A westbound 2013 GMC Sierra driven by Christopher Dejiacomo, 53, Carlton, Georgia, and a 2015 Ford F150 driven by Michael Lee, 49, Evansville, Indiana, both struck the bull that had just been hit by the semi.

The Sierra then crossed the median and ended up in the eastbound lanes of the interstate. The Ford rolled an unknown number of times.

Massey, Lee, a passenger in the GMC Angela Dejiacomo, 51, Carlton, Georgia, and a passenger in the Ford Shelly Lee, 51, Evansville, Indiana, were transported to the hospital in Goodland.

The KHP reported no other injuries. All five were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.
