TREGO COUNTY — One person was injured in an accident just before 5:30 p.m. Thursday in Trego County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2018 Freightliner semi driven by Joselito E. Calusayan, 24, Newberry, FL., was eastbound on Interstate 70 seven miles east of Kansas 147 and directly behind a 2018 Ford pickup driven by James E. Graham, 43, Hays.

The semi rear-ended the Ford when it slowed for an accident up ahead.

Graham was transported to Hays Medical Center. Calusayan and a passenger in the semi were not injured. All three were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the KHP.

The Hays Area Chamber of Commerce is hosting the annual Agriculture Appreciation event at 5 p.m. Tuesday. The event has been moved up three weeks this year due to milo harvest and will be at the Schenk Building at the Ellis County Fairgrounds.

“It’s what we can do to celebrate and appreciate everybody in our ag industry in this area, because we know they put so much into our economy. … We just want to show a small token of appreciation,” said Kara Berry, chamber membership coordinator.

There will be door prizes by local sponsors and dinner served by the chamber.

If you do not have tickets and are part of the local agriculture industry, you can still pick up tickets up to the time of the event by visiting the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce building at 2700 Vine.
