- Medical condition may have led to crash — A man was taken to the hospital in critical condition Sunday night after he apparently suffered a medical condition and his car crashed into a light pole near S.W. 10th and Topeka Boulevard, authorities said.
The accident occurred shortly before 10 p.m. Police said the driver hit a light pole near Walgreens. Authorities hadn’t determined the cause of the crash, but because the vehicle suffered only minor front-end damage, ambulance personnel said it appeared that the driver suffered some sort of medical condition.
Medical personnel said the man had a heartbeat when first- responders arrived but that his heart stopped right before the ambulance arrived. The victim, whose age and identity weren’t available, was taken to Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center.
