(KNZA)--One person was injured Thursday evening in a three-vehicle Brown County crash.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 73 Highway, about one mile south of Hiawatha, shortly after 6:30.

According to the Patrol report, 61-year-old Deborah Wright, of Horton, was northbound when she slowed to allow a motorcycle to make a left-hand turn onto 220th Road. A northbound car behind her, driven by 24-year-old Mayetta resident Morgan Thomas, made an evasive maneuver to avoid striking Wright's SUV, but clipped the vehicle as it made the pass. A northbound car behind Thomas' vehicle, driven by 50-year-old Horton resident Chris Jorn, was not able to stop in time and struck Wright's vehicle from behind.

Wright was transported to Hiawatha's Amberwell Health with suspected minor injuries.

The other two drivers were not injured.

The Patrol says a juvenile was present in Wright's vehicle and in Jorn's vehicle at the time of the crash but no information was released on the individuals because of their age.
