Multiple people were injured Friday morning following a three-vehicle crash near the Interstate 70 interchange in Geary County, according to the Kansas Highway Patrol.
The crash was reported at approximately 10:55 a.m. March 20 on K-177 near mile marker 96.4 at the I-70 junction.
According to the crash report, a 2023 Ram 1500 traveling westbound on the I-70 off-ramp stopped at a stop sign before proceeding into the intersection and crossing in front of a 2000 Freightliner semi. The semi struck the Ram on the driver’s side, pushing it into a third vehicle — a 2018 Ram 2500 — that was legally parked on the shoulder.
The impact caused the semi to jackknife and continue into the southbound lanes of K-177, striking the parked vehicle again and coming to rest blocking both lanes. The Ram 1500 came to rest in a ditch.
The driver of the Ram, 64-year-old Flores Armando Montano of Thornton, Colorado, and two passengers, ages 43 and 51, were transported to Ascension Via Christi Hospital with suspected serious injuries.
The driver of the semi, 66-year-old Steven Hanson of Leonardville, sustained suspected minor injuries. The driver of the parked Ram 2500, 42-year-old Sergio Iglesias of Lehigh Acres, Florida, was not inside the vehicle at the time and was not injured.
