This morning’s winter weather sent a Salina woman to the hospital after she lost control of her vehicle on I-70 in Geary County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says that 46-year-old Lisa Good was eastbound on the interstate when a truck passed her 2023 Lexus ES, causing Good to have to move further to the right. That caused her to go into the ditch and into a flat spin just east of the exit to U.S. 77 in Junction City. She then struck a delineator post before coming to a rest.

Good was transported to Stormont Vail with minor injuries. No citations were issued in the accident.
