One person was transferred to Community Medical Center with non-disabling injuries following a two vehicle accident shortly past 7:30 Thursday morning at the intersection of Highways 8 and 75 in Richardson County.
According to the Richardson County Sheriff’s Department a Toyota 4-Runner driven by Joshua Mayo, 19, of Humboldt was eastbound on Highway 8 and had stopped at the STOP sign. 60 year old Brenda Sykes of Sabetha, Kansas was northbound on 75.
A witness said he believed Mayo did not see the Sykes car due to the bright sun he was facing when he started to cross the intersection and the accident occurred.
