Bystanders helped to get an unidentified man out of his car after it went off an entrance ramp and into a fishing lake in northeast Wichita.
The accident was reported around 1:15 p.m. Monday on the ramp from northbound I-135 to eastbound K-96. The Kansas Highway Patrol said it’s believed the driver had a medical condition that caused him to lose control of the vehicle.
An off-duty firefighter and two citizens jumped into the water and broke a window in the car to get the driver out. The driver was taken to a hospital with possible serious injuries.
The entrance ramp to K-96 was blocked for about two hours after the crash.
