WABAUNSEE COUNTY —One person was injured in an accident just before 11a.m. Sunday in Wabaunsee County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2015 Ford Escape driven by Cody Alan Boggs, 28, Wamego was southbound on Kansas 99 at Paw Paw Creek Road. 

The Ford rear-ended a 2013 Peterbilt semi driven by Christopher J. Landreth, 47, Holdenville, OK., that had slowed down to almost a complete stop due to zero visibility caused by a controlled burn.
