Two people are hurt after a pair of crashes just outside WaKeeney. In the first accident, an eastbound big rig rear-ended a pickup, sending it across the median and both westbound lanes, into a ditch. The driver of the pickup had to be taken to the hospital. About a half hour later, also on the eastbound side, one driver cut off another and the one in the back rolled her car into the ditch. The driver wasn’t hurt, but a 12-year old from Colorado riding in the back was taken to the hospital as a precaution.
