(KAIR)--A Friday morning two-vehicle Leavenworth County crash left two injured, including a child.

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, both vehicles, including a semi tractor-trailer, were northbound on U.S. Highway 73, approaching K-192 Highway.

The semi truck, driven by 33-year-old Mound City, Missouri resident Jerry Bammer, struck the rear end of the SUV in front of it, causing the SUV to rotate three-quarters of a turn, which then struck the side of the trailer being hauled by the semi.

The driver of the SUV, Rachel Berg, of Leavenworth, was transported to Overland Park Regional for treatment of what the KHP identifies as a suspected serious injury. Her 9-year-old passenger was transported to Children's Mercy, in Kansas City, also for a suspected serious injury.

The semi driver was not hurt.

Everyone was buckled up when the wreck happened shortly after 7:30 Friday morning.
