(KNZA)--Two Hoyt residents were injured in a late Thursday morning three-vehicle Shawnee County crash.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened in a work zone on US. 75 Highway, just north of I-70, around 11:00.

According to the Patrol report, a southbound trash truck rear-ended a SUV that had slowed due to congested traffic. The impact pushed the SUV into a car in front of it.

The driver of the SUV, 73-year-old Charles Roman, and his passenger, 58-year-old Twila Howard, were transported to a Topeka hospital with suspected minor injuries.

The driver of the trash truck, from Topeka, was not hurt.

Also the driver of the car, from Sabetha, and three passengers escaped injury.
