One driver was injured while the other driver and passenger were unhurt in a two-vehicle crash at the intersection of 24th and K-96 in Great Bend early Friday afternoon.

According to the Great Bend Police Department report, Amanda Degenhardt, 38, Great Bend, driving a 2017 Jeep Renegade eastbound on Patton Road, was stopped at the intersection of 24th and K-96 when she attempted to cross the highway onto 24th Street. The Jeep crossed the path of the oncoming northwest-bound 2002 Toyota Camry driven by Cynthia Steele, 39, of Ellinwood. The Steele vehicle then T-boned the Degenhardt vehicle, which left the roadway and traveled east into an open field south of the roadway before coming to rest.

The responding officer observed Degenhardt unresponsive at initial contact, regaining consciousness before transport by Great Bend EMS to the University of Kansas Health System - Great Bend Campus.

An eyewitness at the scene noted that the Degenhardt vehicle narrowly missed being struck by a semi-truck traveling southeast on K-96 that was not involved in the crash.

Steele and a juvenile passenger were wearing safety restraints and reported no injuries. It was unknown whether Degenhardt was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
