(KNZA)--Two motorcyclists from Long Lane, Missouri were seriously injured in a three-vehicle wreck on U.S. 24 Highway in Jefferson County Saturday night about five miles east of Perry.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says 33-year-old Sarah Nixon was eastbound on a Harley Davidson motorcycle when she went left of center while negotiating a curve, sideswiping a westbound van. Her motorcycle was then struck from behind by another eastbound Harley Davidson motorcycle being driven by 35-year-old Paul Nixon around 9:00.
Sarah Nixon was transported by ambulance to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center with disabling injuries. Paul Nixon was transported by helicopter to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City with disabling injuries.
The Patrol says both were wearing helmets.
The driver of the van, 57-year-old Perry resident Roger Helm, received possible injuries but wasn't transported for treatment.
