James M. Mumford, 60, of Great Bend was taken to Wesley Medical Center for treatment Wednesday night after a two-vehicle crash in Chase County. The accident happened about 10 p.m. at Milepost 322 on U.S. Highway 50, about 2 1/2 miles northeast of K150.

Perry Vincent Schaffer, 44, of Larned, was noted on the Kansas Highway Patrol report as having a possible injury but refused treatment at the scene of the accident.
Neither Schaffer nor Mumford was wearing a safety restraint.
