The Barton County Sheriff’s Office responded to a possible injury accident at 1:05 a.m. Monday on K-4, about 1 mile west of the K-4/U.S. 281 junction, or half a mile east of NW 50 Ave. Although a 2008 Ford F-150 slid off the snow-packed highway and rolled 1.5 times, everyone was wearing seat belts and they were not injured.
The pickup was driven by Doran J. Margheim, 59, of Hoisington. Passengers were Randy L. Chambers, 30, of Hoisington and Jaylee W. Ricketts, 27, of Russell. The Hoisington Emergency Medical Service and Hoisington Police Department also responded. All three refused medical treatment at the scene.
