K-10 crash victims remain in hospital

There were no changes Wednesday in the conditions of two Olathe men hurt in a collision with a tractor-trailer Tuesday on Kansas Highway 10.

Both Joshua I. Walton, 20, a Kansas University sophomore from Olathe, and Ryan D. Galemore, 21, Olathe, remained in critical condition at KU Med Wednesday night, a hospital spokeswoman said.

Galemore had surgery Wednesday for a compound leg fracture, said his cousin Mike Cuenca, Lawrence. Tuesday, doctors rebuilt one of Galemore’s knee caps.

“It sounds like it’s not life-threatening right now,” Cuenca said.

Walton’s relatives couldn’t be reached for comment.

About 2 a.m. Tuesday, Walton was driving a 1998 Toyota Corolla westbound on Kansas Highway 10 near Eudora. The car was hit head-on by a tractor-trailer going east in the westbound lanes.

Truck driver Horace A. Jordon, 51, Topeka, was treated and released at Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Sheriff’s officers say they don’t know why Jordon was driving in the wrong lanes.
