13 News
Topeka (WIBW) - The slow-down from one wreck led to two others that sent a handful of people to the hospital Friday night.
Topeka Police say the first accident happened around 6 pm on I-470, just before the I-70 interchange. Two vehicles were involved, but no one was hurt.
About a half-hour later, though, a few hundred feet east, three vehicles slowing for backed-up traffic collided. The Kansas Highway Patrol says one person was taken to the hospital with injuries from that accident.
Then, just before 7 pm, the third accident occurred. It happened just on I-470 just east of the bridge over Huntoon, just east of the first two accidents.
Topeka Police say four vehicles were involved in the final accident. Four people were taken to the hospital. No word how serious the injuries are.
Westbound 470, including the on ramp from Huntoon, were closed while crews cleared up the accidents. Traffic returned to normal around 8:30 pm.
