(KNZA)--A four-vehicle crash in St. Joseph, Missouri Tuesday afternoon sent two to the hospital, including a Doniphan County resident.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it happened shortly after 4:30 at the intersection of U.S. 36 Highway and I-229.

According to the Patrol report, a SUV driven by 25-year-old Tyler Odell, of St. Joseph, was eastbound on U.S. 36 when he failed to stop for a red light. His vehicle struck a pickup truck driven by 32-year-old Troy, Kansas resident Joel Jorgensen. The impact caused Odell's vehicle to strike the concrete barrier and a westbound car driven by 36-year-old Eli Gallagher, of St. Joseph. The impact then caused Gallagher's car to strike a westbound SUV driven by 39-year-old Elwood, Kansas resident Dustin Robinson.

Odell was transported by ambulance to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph with suspected moderate injuries, while Jorgensen was transported to the hospital by private vehicle with suspected minor injuries.

The Patrol says Odell was the only occupant not buckled up when the wreck occurred.
