Motorist injured Sunday on turnpike

Wednesday, January 30, 2008

Joshua Ray Ortega, 20, was treated at Newman Regional Health and released after an accident early Sunday morning five miles north of Emporia on the Kansas Turnpike.

According to a report from the KTA’s Highway Patrol trooper, Ortega’s northbound 2007 Kia drifted to the left, struck a barrier wall and overturned about 1:55 a.m. Sunday.

It was unknown whether Ortega was wearing a seatbelt. The Kia was towed from the scene of the accident, just south of Milepost 133.

Ortega was alone in the vehicle.
