Kansas trooper's dashcam records airborne SUV on I-70. Why the driver wasn't hurt
Dashcam video caught footage of a crash on I-70 in Russell County, Kansas, and shows an SUV driving in the median before hitting what appears to be a bump, going airborne, and then landing on its hood. Kansas Highway Patrol trooper Tod Hileman posted the dashcam video online Tuesday of the April 17 crash that was recorded by another trooper. The trooper was pulling over to help another driver on the side of the interstate. The trooper then drives from the shoulder to the median and rushes to the side of the driver, the dashcam video shows. 'Thankfully the driver was not injured, thanks to his seatbelt and all of the other hidden safety features that newer vehicles are being engineered with,' Hileman said in the Facebook post. Other details about the crash were not immediately available. The KHP does not post details about non-injury accidents in its crash log.

Walton library received second $10,000 grant, will focus on mobility
WALTON – The Walton & Tipton Township Public Library has received a $10,000 libraries Transforming Communities: Accessible Small and Rural Communities grant that will be used to purchase equipment to support individuals with mobility issues. This is the second LTC grant the library has received. The first grant funded the new library sensory room for people with autism. The room recently opened The Walton & Tipton Township Public Library was one of 300 libraries nationwide to receive the grant from the American Library Association. Equipment purchased by the library using the grant funds could include wheelchairs, rolators and walkers. Funds also may be used to create a ramp from the entryway to the lower level. The purpose, said library director Kristi Hileman, is to help people have an easier way of getting around the library. The equipment also will be available to individuals who use the Community Room for personal events like birthday parties and anniversaries. The only requirement is that all equipment must remain on library grounds. The items will not be available for checking-out or taking home. A community meeting will be held in May to focus on how the community would like the grant to be spent, Hileman said. Hileman is also exploring the possibility of using some of the funds to buy a golf cart that employees would be able to use to help transport patrons to and from the library. It would be a type of book mobile for those with mobility issues, she said. 'The LTC: Accessible Small and Rural Communities grant continues to be a significantly impactful effort in ALA's history,' said ALA President Cindy Hohl. 'This growing list of libraries nationwide is making huge strides in advancing accessibility for library patrons with disabilities. We look forward to the outcomes from this third round of funding.'
