traffic crash
(KNZA)--One person was injured Friday afternoon in a two-vehicle crash in Jefferson County.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said the crash happened on U.S. 24 Highway, just east of Detlor Road, around 3:30.
The KHP says an eastbound mini-van driven by 55-year-old Peter Cortez, of Topeka, made an evasive maneuver to avoid a vehicle stopped ahead and crossed the center line, striking a westbound car head-on.
The driver of the car, 55-year-old Topeka resident Joel Stuke, was transported to a Topeka hospital with suspected minor injuries.
Cortez was not hurt.
The Patrol says both drivers were buckled up when the crash occurred.
