A Ulysses man was taken to the hospital Wednesday after a two-vehicle crash eight miles south of Syracuse.
George Reyes, 42, Syracuse, was driving a 2000 Peterbuilt semitrailer southbound on Kansas Highway 27 and came up behind Randall Levens, 40, Syracuse, who was driving a 1973 Chevrolet truck and was attempting to turn left on the highway.

Reyes was taken to Hamilton County Hospital for possible injuries. A call to the Hamilton County Hospital regarding Reyes’ condition was not returned this morning.
He was wearing a seat belt, according to KHP.
