(KNZA)--Additional details have been released on a single-vehicle wreck Saturday evening on the southern edge of Hiawatha that sent two Hiawatha residents to the hospital.
Hiawatha Police Chief John Defore says 38-year-old Adam Kloss was southbound on Linden Road when he lost control of his car and struck a bridge pillar at the U.S. 36 overpass.
Kloss, who was trapped in the vehicle, had to be extricated.
Kloss and a passenger, 26-year-old Ashley Rhyne, were both transported by ambulance to the Hiawatha Community Hospital.
Kloss was later transported by helicopter to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail Hospital and then later flown to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City with disabling injuries.
Rhyne was transferred by ambulance to Stormont-Vail.
Defore says the wreck still remains under investigation.
