(KMZA)--Slick road conditions are blamed for an early Wednesday evening two-vehicle collision in Nemaha County that sent three Hiawatha residents to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on V Road about four miles northwest of Sabetha shortly after 5:30.

According to the KHP report, 31-year-old Conser Interiano was northbound when he lost control of his Ford Fiesta on the icy road. His vehicle crossed the centerline and struck a southbound semi head-on.

Interiano and two passengers in his car, 18-year-old Santas Interiano and 18-year-old Gerson Interiano, were transported to the Sabetha Community Hospital with suspected serious injuries.

The semi driver, from Houston, Texas, was not hurt.

The Patrol says all four occupants were wearing seatbelts when the wreck occurred.
