A traffic accident in Leavenworth resulted in an 18-year-old man being airlifted to a hospital in Kansas City. He was ejected from the car he was a passenger in.

The accident was reported shortly before 2 p.m. Wednesday at 18th Street and U.S. 73. The accident occurred when a northbound Saturn sedan crossed in front of a westbound pickup truck, according to Maj. Pat Kitchens, deputy chief of the Leavenworth Police Department.

A landing zone for the air ambulance was set up in a field on the northwest corner of the intersection, according to Leavenworth Assistant Fire Chief Mike Lingenfelser.

The driver of the car was taken to a local hospital by ambulance. The driver of the truck was not injured.
