Emporia Gazette – October 28, 2013
A non-injury rollover accident, involving a white Ford Explorer, was reported Sunday morning on Interstate 35 in Emporia.
Kyle Grokett, of Cottonwood Falls, was traveling southbound on I-35, east of the Prairie Street bridge, at 11:15 a.m. Sunday when he was distracted by an item in his vehicle, said Sgt. Ray Mattas, of the Emporia Police Department, during a phone interview this morning. The Explorer then left the roadway, entered the median, which caused it to flip over, landing on the roof in the northbound lane of I-35. The Police Department cited Grokett for inattentive driving.
One lane was closed during the accident. The Police Department investigated the accident. The Emporia Fire Department, the Lyon County Sheriff’s Office and the Emporia State University campus police assisted at the scene.
