Please, no rubbernecking


Liberal Police officers Franka Jiminez and John McCord work a four car accident Thursday on Kansas Avenue near the water park. No one was hurt. One driver apparently was "rubbernecking" (looking over) at the water park construction site when her vehicle struck the car in front of her, starting a chain reaction. Police ask that drivers use extra caution when driving by the site.
