87Warrior Posted June 19, 2014 Posted June 19, 2014 A local new story has started to spread around the net when an intoxicated driver attempts to launch, what appears to be a WK, off of a trailer parked along the Interstate....Dukes of Hazard style. Thank goodness the truck didn't have any occupants! TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) A Manhattan man was taken to the hospital after his SUV was launched into the air after striking a trailer parked on the shoulder of I-70 in Riley Co. on Tuesday.According to the Kansas Highway Patrol (KHP), Greg Harris was taken to a nearby hospital. No one was in the 2006 Ford F350 attached to the trailer.The KHP Crash Log indicates Harris was heading west on I-70 near mile marker 321, about 8 miles east of the Manhattan exit no. 313, around 9:00 a.m. when his Jeep Grand Cherokee inexplicably went onto the shoulder and hit the trailer.The SUV went airborne and flipped before coming down in a nearby ditch. RILEY COUNTY, Kan. -A Jeep goes airborne while driving along a Kansas highway, and the crash is all caught on tape.It happened on I-70 in Riley County, about 8 miles east of Manhattan. The video was posted to the KWCH Facebook page. You can see a Jeep strike an unattended vehicle, then becoming airborne.Jacob Meyer, who shot the video, said he started recording the Jeep because the driver had been swerving all over the road."It was almost like something in a movie because most people in that situation would have swerved right or left to avoid the vehicle," Meyer said. "It was almost as if he lined it up on person and to me it's just so unbelievable."The Kansas Highway Patrol reports the driver of the Jeep 41-year-old Greg Harris, of Manhattan, was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. No one else was hurt. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4sDR2Kbiq24
