A portion of U.S. 59 Highway, between N. 1000 and N. 1100 roads, reopened at 9:30 p.m.

According to a news release from the Kansas Department of Transportation, the section was closed as crews worked to clean up fuel spilled when two semitrailers collided just before 3 p.m. Wednesday.

One man was flown to Kansas University Hospital with life-threatening injuries following the accident.
