A serious head-on collision in Kingman County, Kansas on Tuesday night resulted in severe injuries for a teenage driver, according to local authorities. The crash occurred on K-14 highway near S.E. 150th Avenue, roughly 15 miles south of Kingman.
Details of the Incident
The Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP) reported that the accident happened around 8:44 p.m. A 2016 Dodge Ram, traveling south on K-14, crossed over the centerline and struck a 2021 Ford Bronco heading northbound.
Injury and Transport Information
Jenna G. Dunsworth, age 18 from Attica, sustained severe injuries and was taken to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita for treatment. Authorities confirmed she had her seat belt fastened at the time of the crash.
Frank A. Brough, a 54-year-old resident of Kinsley and driver of the Dodge Ram, reportedly suffered minor injuries. He was also buckled up, and like Dunsworth, was the sole occupant in his vehicle.
Response by Kansas Highway Patrol
The Kansas Highway Patrol is continuing to investigate the cause of the crash. Preliminary findings confirm that lane deviation by the Dodge Ram led to the head-on impact.
The tragic head-on crash in Kingman County underscores the importance of road safety and awareness, especially on highways. Thanks to seat belt usage, the injuries could have been more severe. Investigations are still underway to understand what caused the Dodge Ram to veer into the opposite lane, but for now, one teen remains hospitalized, and a community watches closely for updates.
