Four injured in wreck near Mulvane casino; deputy says intoxicated driver suspected

Four people, including a suspected intoxicated driver, were taken to the hospital after a two-vehicle wreck Friday morning on South Broadway about three miles north of the Kansas Star Casino, Sedgwick County Sheriff’s Office Lt. Benjamin Blick said.

911 was called about a possible intoxicated driver around 10:08 a.m. near 95th Street South and Broadway. One minute later, the wreck was reported about a mile south of that, in the 10500 block of South Broadway. Officers found a severely damaged Ford Escape and Ford Fiesta, Blick said.

The suspected intoxicated driver, a 46-year-old man, was critically injured in the crash, Blick said. He crossed the center line while headed south on Broadway and hit the northbound Fiesta, he said.

The 46-year-old woman driving the Fiesta was seriously injured and two passengers in the vehicle, ages 21 and 11, were also taken to an area hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
