LONG ISLAND — Two people from Nebraska were injured in an accident at approximately 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in Phillips County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2003 Dodge pickup driven by Jeffery Arthur Hester, 34, Harvard, Neb., was westbound on Kansas 383 just west of Long Island when the passenger-side wheels entered the north ditch.

The pickup then traveled across the roadway and entered into a broadside skid, continuing into the southbound ditch and rolling. Hester was ejected from the vehicle, which came to rest on its wheels.

Hester, who the KHP said was not wearing a seat belt, was transported to Norton County Hospital for treatment.

A passenger in the truck, a 15-year-old male, also was transported to the hospital for treatment. The teen was wearing a seat belt, the KHP said.
