HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Two people were taken to area hospitals after a rollover crash east of Hutchinson.
Taken to a Wichita hospital was 21-year-old Elizabeth Fanning from Wichita. She was a passenger in a vehicle driven by 21-year-old Jacob Rucker, also of Wichita. He was taken to Hutchinson Regional Medical Center.
Sheriff officials were dispatched to 10011 E. 4th on the report of the accident. The reporting party advised a male and a female arrived on their door step and asked to use a phone. They said they had been involved in an accident, but did not know where the vehicle was.
Deputies made contact with Rucker and discovered that he was driving a 2005 Pontiac GTO eastbound on 4th when he ran the stop sign at 4th and Buhler Rd. He then lost control of the vehicle and rolled it several times into a field on the south side of the road. He could not remember what happened and could only say they were headed to Wichita.
Both were reportedly wearing their seat belts and the accident is still under investigation.
The accident was reported around 4:50 a.m., Wednesday morning.
