(KNZA)--A three-vehicle wreck in a construction zone on U.S. 36 Highway east of Hiawatha early Friday evening sent three people to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says a semi-tractor trailer driven by 64-year-old Wymore, Nebraska resident Larry Sommerville was eastbound when he struck the rear of a Honda Civic that was stopped at the traffic control flagger site, and then struck an unoccupied car parked on the shoulder of the highway.

The driver of the Honda Civic, 32-year-old Seneca resident Daniel Cain and his  passenger, 26-year-old Carlisle Cain, also of Seneca, along with Sommerville were transported to the Hiawatha Community Hospital.

The wreck was reported shortly after 5:00 just west of Timber Road.
