SUMNER CO., Kan. (WIBW) - One driver was injured after she was hit in the back of the head with a floor jack as she was traveling along a south-central Kansas interstate.

The Kansas Highway Patrol Crash Log indicates that around 6:45 p.m. on Thursday, May 18, emergency crews were called to the area of mile marker 13.1 on northbound I-35 in Sumner Co. with reports of a crash.
