(KLZA)-- A Falls City man required hospitalization following a two-vehicle rear-end collison Tuesday morning.
The Richardson County Sheriff's Office reports the wreck occurred at 648 Boulevard on the north side of Highway 8, about two miles west of Falls City.
The Sheriff's Office says 71-year-old John Martin of Falls City was westbound in a pickup on Highway 8 and slowed to turn north into a housing area driveway.
A van driven by 41-year-old David Schlapia of Maryville, Missouri was following Martin and did not realize Martin had slowed down and ran into the back of Martin's pickup.
Martin was transported to Community Medical Center in Falls City by ambulance with what were described as non-life-threatening, but disabling injures.
Schlapia was not hurt.
The wreck was reported shortly after 10:00 Tuesday morning.
