(KNZA)--An early Wednesday evening two-vehicle Jefferson County wreck sent four people to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports 41-year-old Mark Allensworth, of Mayetta, was eastbound on U.S. 24 Highway when his car struck the passenger side of a pickup truck that was stopped on the highway facing south in the eastbound lanes. The vehicle had been involved in a prior crash.

The driver of the pickup, 54-year-old Baldwin resident Roger Morris, was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital with suspected serious injuries.

Allensworth and two passengers in his vehicle, 33-year-old Stacy Rippel and 12-year-old Josh Allensworth, both of Mayetta, were transported to the hospital with suspected minor injuries.

The Patrol says the wreck was reported shortly after 5:30 Wednesday evening at Decatur Road.
