(KNZA)--An elderly Meriden woman was injured early Wednesday evening in a three-vehicle Jefferson County crash, south of Meriden.
According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, 48-year-old Travis Hansen, of Meriden, was southbound on K-4 Highway, north of 62nd Street, when he struck the rear of an eastbound pickup truck driven by 32-year-old Vincent Smull, of Meriden. The impact pushed the pickup into the northbound lane where it was struck by a car driven by 82-year-old Vanita Hunt.
Hunt was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital for the treatment of a suspected serious injury.
Smull and Hansen were not hurt.
The Patrol says all three drivers were wearing seat belts when the wreck occurred shortly after 6:00 Wednesday evening.
