(KNZA)--A late Monday morning 4-vehicle Jefferson County collision sent one person to the hospital.
The Kansas Highway Patrol said it happened shortly after 11:00 on U.S 24 Highway about two miles west of Perry.
According to the KHP report, three vehicles were stopped in a construction zone on the highway at the flagman location when an eastbound pickup truck driven by 54-year-old David Berry, of Lawrence, failed to stop and struck a Honda Pilot in the rear. That set off a chain reaction collision with the other two vehicles.
The driver of the Honda Pilot, a 49-year-old Lawrence man, was transported to a Topeka hospital for the treatment of suspected minor injuries.
No other injuries were reported.
The Patrol said all four drivers, along with two passengers in the third vehicle, were wearing seat belts when the crash occurred.
