(KNZA)--Two people were injured in two separate Jackson County wrecks Thursday.

The first wreck occurred shortly after 10:30 in the morning at the intersection of U.S. 75 Highway and 110th Road, west of Hoyt.

According a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, 45-year-old Maria Goddard, of Overland Park, was westbound on 110th Road when her SUV entered Highway 75 and struck a northbound pickup truck driven by 77-year-old Royce Cole, of Omaha, Nebraska.

A passenger in the pickup, 68-year-old Susan Fredricks, of Omaha, was transported to a Topeka hospital for the treatment of suspected minor injuries.

The two drivers were not hurt.

The second wreck occurred around 1:30 Thursday afternoon on U.S. 75 Highway, just north of Holton.

The KHP said a semi tractor-trailer was southbound when for an unknown reason it drove off the edge of the roadway. The semi continued southbound, striking an embankment at Rodgers Drive. The driver then overcorrected, causing the semi to overturn onto its side, coming to rest on U.S. 75.

A 25-year-old passenger in the semi, from Winnipeg, Canada, was transported to a Topeka hospital for the treatment of suspected serious injuries.

The semi driver, also from Canada, was not hurt.

The wreck closed down a stretch of U.S. 75 for a period of time.
