(KAIR)--Six people were transported for hospital care following a noon-hour, Jefferson County crash Sunday.
According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, two of the six were from Hoyt, while the other 4 were all from Salina.
KHP reports that that the vehicle carrying the Salina residents ws eastbound on U.S. Highway 24, a 1/4 mile east of U.S. Highway 59, when it attempted to pass a truck. That caused both the Chevrolet Equinox, driven by 53-year-old Bryan Hone, of Salina, and a westbound Chevrolet Cavalier, driven by 63-year-old Robert Simpson, of Hoyt, to drive into the north ditch, where they collided head on. The truck was not involved in the crash.
Injured were Simpson, and his passenger, 61-year-old Cindy Simpson, who were both transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail with suspected minor injuries.
Hone, and his three passengers, including an 11 and 13 year-old, were all transported to the Topeka hospital. Hone suffered what the Patrol calls "suspected serious injuries," while the others in his vehicle incurred suspected minor injuries.
According to KHP, everyone involved in the wreck was buckled up when the wreck happened shortly after 12 noon Sunday afternoon.
