Infant Killed In South-Central Kansas Collision

A collision between a trash truck and a passenger car has left a baby dead and two people hospitalized in south-central Kansas.

Sumner County Sheriff Darren Chambers tells KWCH-TV that the car was eastbound on a road in Oxford. That’s when it collided with a northbound trash truck. The sheriff says there are no stop signs or yield signs at the intersection where the crash occurred around 11:30 a-m, Friday.

Authorities say the infant in the car was killed on impact. A man and woman in the car were flown to a Wichita hospital with what were described as critical injuries.

The 73-year-old driver of the truck was not hurt.

Oxford is located about 30 miles south of Wichita.
