Four injured in crash

MARION -- Four Emporia residents were injured when the sport utility vehicle they were in was struck on the driver's side by a semitrailer.

According to a Kansas Highway Patrol report, Danika M. Galindo, 41, was driving west on Kansas Highway 150, east of Marion, at 4:17 p.m. Wednesday. Galindo stopped at the intersection of U.S. Highway 56/U.S. Highway 77, according to the report but then failed to yield to an oncoming semitrailer driven by Craig W. Whittemore, 33, Wilsey.

Galindo and a passenger in her vehicle, Orlando Galindo, 3, were airlifted to Wesley Medical Center in Wichita. Danika Galindo was in critical condition Thursday and Orlando Galindo was in fair condition, according to a hospital spokeswoman.

Two other occupants of the vehicle -- Brenda J. Galindo, 24, and Alex Galindo, 7, both of Emporia -- were taken to St. Luke's Hospital in Marion. Their conditions were not available.

Danika Galindo was the only person in her vehicle who was wearing a seat belt, according to the report.

Whittemore was not injured, according to the report. He was wearing a seat belt.
