(KNZA)--A two-vehicle Jefferson County wreck Monday afternoon sent a Meriden woman to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the wreck occurred on K-4 Highway about five miles south of Meriden around 2:20.

The Patrol says a SUV driven by Debra Tarwater was northbound when she slowed due to traffic and her vehicle was struck in the rear bumper by a northbound car driven by 18-year-old Valley Falls resident Brylee Dawn Coleman.

Tarwater was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center with unspecified injuries.  Coleman was not hurt.

The Patrol says both drivers were wearing seatbelts.
