(KNZA)--A two-vehicle wreck Saturday morning in Brown County sent two elderly Evansdale, Iowa residents to the hospital.
The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened around 6:15 at the intersection of U.S. 75 and K-20 Highways.
The Patrol says 55-year-old Leroy Johnson, of Lawrence, was westbound on K-20 when he failed to stop at the stop sign and his car was struck by a southbound mini-van on U.S. 75 driven by 81-year-old John Simmons.
John Simmons and his 78-year-old passenger, Shirley Simmons, were both transported to the Horton Community Hospital.
The Patrol report says Johnson received possible injuries, but doesn’t indicate he was transported to a hospital.
All the occupants were wearing seatbelts.
