(KNZA)--A Wathena, Kansas teenager was among two injured in a two-vehicle crash in northwest Missouri Monday morning.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it happened on Business Loop I-29 in Country Club Village shortly before 9:15.

According to the Patrol report, the 18-year-old Wathena teen was driving a northbound Jeep Wrangler in the driving lane and failed to notice a northbound Saturn Vue driven by a 60-year-old St. Joseph, Missouri woman in the passing lane and attempted to make a left turn at the crossover at Emerald Lane.

The Jeep struck the passenger side of the Saturn.

EMS transported both drivers to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, with suspected minor injuries.

The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the wreck occurred.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol no longer releases names of accident victims.
