Four people were taken to the Great Bend Regional Hospital Saturday night after a driver crossed the center line and hit two oncoming vehicles, about two miles south of Great Bend.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 45 year old Esteban Hernandez of Great Bend was traveling north on U.S. 281 just after 8 p.m. when his 2001 Ford pickup truck crossed the center line and struck a 1997 Ford pickup driven by 17-year old Dominic Manley of Olmitz. Hernandez’s vehicle continued on and then struck a 2000 Ford Mustang driven by 42-yar old Rosario Chavariia-Luna of  Great Bend. An occupant in her vehicle Jose Chavarria, 17, was also injured in the crash.

According to the patrol all four victims were taken to the hospital, where their conditions were unavailable yesterday. The investigating officer said Chavarria and Chavarria-Luna were wearing seat belts. Hernandez and Manley were not.
