(KNZA)--A two-vehicle late Tuesday afternoon Jefferson County wreck sent two people to the hospital.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on K-4 Highway about one mile south of Meriden shortly after 4:30.
The Patrol reports a car driven by 48-year-old Vicki Lynn Rodriguez, of Meriden, was stopped in the southbound lane waiting to turn into a private drive. The Patrol says a southbound car driven by 21-year-old Maria Clark, of Valley Falls, failed to stop behind traffic and went into the northbound lane. To avoid meeting traffic head-on, Clark attempted to return to the southbound lane and struck the rear end of Rodriguez' car.
Both Clark and Rodriguez were transported to a Topeka hospital for treatment of suspected minor injuries.
Three passengers in Clark's car, ages 1, 2 and 15, were not hurt.
The Patrol says all the occupants were properly restrained.
