Four young children and a 36-year-old woman all escaped serious injury after the car they were in left the road and struck a ditch embankment Monday morning. The accident happened about 2.5 miles west of Solomon, Kansas on Old 40 Highway in Saline Co. The Kansas Highway Patrol says around 8:15 a.m., a 2015 Chevy Impala, driven by 36-year-old Jessica Butler of New Cambria, was traveling east when she left the road to the south and struck a ditch embankment. KHP says the car came to rest after hitting a fence along a railroad access. Two of Butlers’ four passengers, 9- and 10-year-old boys were taken to Salina Regional after complaining of pain. 4- and 5-year-old girls did not appear to be transported. Officials say the 9-year-old was not properly restrained.
