(KNZA)--A Meriden woman was among four injured in a four-vehicle wreck on K-4 Highway Wednesday morning near the Shawnee-Jefferson County line.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the wreck happened about 7:15 at the intersection with Northeast 46th Street.

The Patrol says a Chevy Malibu was stopped waiting to make a left hand turn onto 46th Street when it was struck in the rear by a Ford Ranger, pushing the Malibu into oncoming traffic. The Malibu struck a pickup truck driven by 38-year-old Amanda Butler, of Meriden, head-on. Butler’s pickup deflected and struck a 4th vehicle that was stopped at the stop sign on 46th Street.

Butler and two others, both from Topeka, were transported to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center. A 5-year-old child, who was a passenger in the Malibu, was transported to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City with serious injuries.

The wreck closed down a portion of K-4 Highway for a period of time.
