(KNZA)--An early Wednesday evening two-vehicle Jefferson County wreck sent three people to the hospital with serious injuries.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 59 Highway, south of Osage Road, around 5:30.

The Patrol says a southbound John Deere tractor pulling a hay grinder driven by 27-year-old Cole Clanton, of Bucyrus, Kansas struck the rear of a  southbound semi driven by 54-year-old Christopher Erickson, of Perry.

Erickson, Clanton and a passenger in the tractor, 28-year-old Oskaloosa resident Allyson Clanton, were all transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital with suspected serious injuries.
