Facebook update from RAAM:
Sandy Earl is happy and talkative as she cruises down US 54 E toward Fort Scott, Kansas. Her left knee has a scrape from a small fall but she's riding along strong and sans neck pain!

Unfortunately, some bad news. Looks like a rider was hit by a car in Kansas and has been taken to the hospital. They're not giving a name or much other information yet, but this is from one of the Wichita TV stations:

DAMN. It wasn't one of the solo women - they were all clear of KS. Really hope the cyclist will be OK

Here's a news update on the accident from another Wichita TV station.
http://www.kwch.com/global/story.asp?s=12657383
Kansas just passed a law within the last few weeks banning texting while driving, so they mentioned right away about the driver apparently not texting at the time. It's really sad, though, regardless. I hope the rider is o.k.
I just looked at the RAAM site and noticed that a Spanish team (T415) DNF'd after Maize, KS and had checked in there shortly before the accident time. The accident happened between Maize and El Dorado. All the other teams have either checked in at El Dorado or weren't even at Maize at the time of the accident, so it sounds like it was a Spanish rider. I do hope he's o.k.

Yeah - it was someone from Team 415. I found a video clip of news coverage, and they showed the stopped follow car with the team no. That sucks
At least law enforcement seem to be taking this one seriously.
