The following accidents were reported to Marion County law enforcement agencies:

Larry A. Walker, 66, Harper, was southbound on K-15 near milepost 134 in a 1999 Ford Windstar van at 5 p.m. Feb. 11, when his vehicle crossed the center line and struck a semi-tractor driven by Robert C. Handke, 79, Atchison. The van then went over a bridge railing and landed in a creek bed. The semi caught fire, entered a west ditch where the tractor rolled on its side and the trailer remained on its wheels. Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Scott Proffitt reported Walker was transported to Via Christi-St. Francis and Handke to Hillsboro Community Medical Center. The make and model of the semi was not available at press time as the accident remained under investigation.
