(KNZA)--A Monday morning two-vehicle Brown County wreck sent two people to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened at the intersection of K-20 Highway and Raccoon Road about one mile east of Everest shortly before 10:45.

According to the KHP report, 54-year-old John Schuetz, of Powhattan, was driving a dump truck on K-20 when he attempted to turn south onto Raccoon Road and failed to yield to a pickup truck driven by 78-year-old Robert Becker, of Everest. The dump truck struck the pickup on the driver's side.

Schuetz was transported to Amberwell Health with suspected minor injuries.

Becker was transported to the University of Kansas Hospital, in Kansas City, with suspected serious injuries.

The Patrol says Schuetz was buckled up when the wreck occurred, but Becker was not wearing a seatbelt.
