Three injured in separate Nemaha Co crashes

(KMZA)--A Goff woman was seriously injured after she was struck by a car late Wednesday morning along a Nemaha County highway.

The crash was reported around 11:15 on K-9 highway, about 1.5 miles north of Corning.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a car driven by 73-year-old Ora Martindale, of Havensville, was southbound when he lost control of the vehicle on the snow-covered road and west into the west ditch, where it struck the pedestrian.

The pedestrian, identified as 27-year-old Jordan Sowers, was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca for treatment.

Martindale was not hurt.

The crash was reported around the same time and location as a separate head-on crash that left both drivers seriously injured.

The Patrol says a semi truck was southbound on K-9 when the driver lost control of the rig on the ice-covered road and struck a northbound Chevy Tahoe.

The driver of the Tahoe, 43-year-old Eric Breeding, of Centralia, was transported to Community Hospital in Onaga for treatment.

The driver of the semi, 62-year-old Leslie Norris, of Mount Vernon, Missouri, was transported to the Nemaha Valley Community Hospital in Seneca for treatment.

The Patrol says both drivers were wearing seat belts when the wreck occurred.
