The crash was reported at 2:50 p.m. Monday at 20000 Road, approximately two miles east of US-59 Highway. The location was about five miles southeast of Parsons.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, a 2023 Polaris ATV was westbound on 20000 Road and entered the north-side ditch, striking a tree. The driver was ejected and landed in the ditch as the ATV continued westbound, striking the driver in the ditch. 

The driver, Todd Nibarger, 54, of Parsons, was transported to Labette Health in Parsons with suspected serious injuries. 

The patrol said Nibarger, who was alone in the ATV, was not wearing his seat belt.
