Topeka, KS (July 1, 2025) – A rear-end collision left at least one person hurt after two vehicles collided on U.S. Highway 75 Southbound just north of the Interstate 70 interchange. The crash took place at approximately 2:13 p.m. on June 28. Reports from the Kansas Highway Patrol indicate that the incident occurred near milepost 161.4 when a Nissan driver failed to notice a slowing Ford ahead, resulting in a significant impact.
According to initial findings, a 2017 Nissan passenger car driven by Shane M. Adamson, 17, of Silver Lake, was heading southbound on U.S. Highway 75 alongside passenger Niesa Ventura, 17, also of Silver Lake. Adamson did not see that a 2007 Ford driven by Theresa M. Yocum, 33, of Lawrence, was slowing or stopped ahead and struck the back of the Ford.
Emergency responders arrived at the scene to assess those involved. Theresa M. Yocum was transported to Stormont Vail Hospital for further medical care following the crash. Neither Shane Adamson nor passenger Niesa Ventura reported any visible injuries at the scene. Authorities continue to investigate the circumstances of this collision to determine if any charges will be filed.
We hope those injured in this wreck recover rapidly.
