(KNZA)---An early Thursday morning two-vehicle crash in Jefferson County sent an Ozwakie teenager to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the crash happened at the intersection of K-4 Highway and East Main Street in Meriden shortly before 7:50.

According the KHP report, 46-year-old Jacob Monhollon, of Ozawkie, was driving a Toyota Highlander eastbound on East Main Street when he turned east onto K-4 Highway.

The Patrol said Monhollon failed to yield the right-of-way to a westbound Ford Escape on K-4 driven by 17-year-old Ava Morrow, of Ozawkie.

Morrow's vehicle struck the driver's side of the Toyota.

She was transported to a Topeka hospital with suspected serious injuries.

Monhollon was not hurt.

The Patrol says both drivers were alone in their vehicle and were wearing seat belts.
