HUTCHINSON, Kan. – Emergency officials are working a serious accident at the intersection of U.S 50 and Buhler-Haven Road.
911 officials say it involves a semi and a passenger car and one person is reported to be in critical condition.
We were also told that they’re diverting traffic while they work the accident because apparently they have hay bails all over the road.
If you travel 50 highway, you may need to find an alternate route.
