(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.
