(KNZA)--Authorities say a broken down vehicle on K-4 Highway in Jefferson County Wednesday evening led to a wreck that sent two to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says 30-year-old Daniel Cannon, of Manhattan, was northbound when his Chevy Camero became disabled.  The Patrol says Cannon was attempting to push the vehicle off the highway when a Honda Accord driven by 56-year-old Barbara Murphree, of Valley Falls, came up from behind and struck his vehicle.

Cannon was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital with unspecified injures.

Murphree was also transported to the hospital with what the Patrol described as possible injuries.

The wreck was reported around 7:45 Wednesday evening about 5 miles south of Meriden.
