A busy intersection where Kansas Highway 10 meets the city limits was the scene of another injury accident Wednesday.

The wreck happened shortly before 11 a.m. at the entrance to the East Hills Business Park. Police said it was caused by a northbound truck driver who was crossing K-10 and failed to yield to a westbound car.

Two people were taken by air ambulance to a Kansas City hospital. Another was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

People who work in the park say the safety of the intersection has been a longstanding concern. In the past, they’ve pressed for a traffic light or other ways to slow drivers down.

“Almost every three months this happens,” said Dave McClain, general manager for Kinedyne’s operations in the business park. “There’s vehicles dumping across that road all day. It’s a matter of odds … that somebody is not going to see somebody at some point.”

A tally of wrecks at the intersection wasn’t available Wednesday, but business-park tenants called for a traffic light in 2001 after two injury accidents within five months at the same spot.

Police said Wednesday’s wreck happened at 10:52 a.m. when a three-ton flatbed truck owned by LRM Industries was crossing K-10 northbound toward the business park.

The driver, Deanna Shawbaker, 39, rural Douglas County, failed to yield to a westbound Toyota driven by 50-year-old Jung Kwon, of Overland Park, police said.

Emergency personnel work the scene of an accident on Kansas Highway 10 at the entrance to the East Hills Business Park. Two people were injured in the two-vehicle accident and were life-flighted to the hospital.

Kwon was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Her husband, 55-year-old Tae Kwon, and Shawbaker were taken by helicopter to University of Kansas Hospital. An update on their condition wasn’t available Wednesday night.

The wreck happened within city limits, police said. But City Commissioner David Schauner said he’s been told any changes to the road would have to be approved by the Kansas Department of Transportation.

“What I’m told is that KDOT has been unwilling to do anything to lower the speed,” he said.

A KDOT official couldn’t be reached for comment Wednesday.
