Two Baldwin City teens hurt in traffic accident

? Two 16-year-old Baldwin High School juniors were taken to an area hospital by helicopter ambulance Friday night after a one-vehicle accident about four miles south of Baldwin City.

Troy Stanley and Nick Cox were taken to Overland Park Regional Medical Center where they remained Monday. Stanley was in good condition and said he might be released Monday. Cox remains in the intensive care unit.

The teens were injured about 7:10 p.m., after their car left the road and rolled numerous times, said Steve Lunger, Franklin County undersheriff. Cox was driving, said Sheriff Craig Davis, and he said both teens were ejected from the car.

Davis said one witness told officers that Cox’s car was attempting to pass another car and it appeared they were racing. The cars were traveling over the speed limit, but Davis didn’t have an actual speed.
