LEAVENWORTH CO., Kan. (WIBW) - An Arizona man is recovering in a Kansas hospital after his vehicle smashed into a barrier wall on I-70.
The Kansas Highway Patrol Crash Log indicates that just before 7 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 7, emergency crews were called to the area of milepost 221.8 on eastbound I-70 in Leavenworth Co. with reports of a single-vehicle crash.
