(KNZA)--Two motorcyclists were injured Saturday afternoon in a Jefferson County wreck.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on Ferguson Road about 8 miles north of Perry about 3:50.

The Patrol says northbound motorcycles driven 44-year-old Edwardsville resident David Collins and 28-year-old Bonner Springs resident Devin Belknap were passing a car with another motorcycle when a southbound vehicle came into view.  Collins attempted to avoid a collision and struck Belknap’s motorcycle, causing both riders to be ejected and both motorcycles to skid to a stop.

Collins was transported to Lawrence Memorial Hospital and Belknap to Topeka’s Stormont-Vail Regional Healthcare for treatment of injuries.

The Patrol says neither were wearing a helmet at the time of the wreck but were wearing safety glasses.
