One Injured in Jackson Co Crash

(KNZA)--A two-vehicle rear end collision Sunday night on U.S. 75 Highway in Jackson County sent one to the hospital.

Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse says it happened shortly before 9:30 just north of 134th Road.

Morse says 45-year-old Melissa Livengood, of Hoyt, was northbound when she fell alseep at the wheel and her Ford Escape struck the rear of a northbound Hummer driven by 35-year-old Norman Caballero-Miramontes, of Holton.  The impact caused the Hummer to travel into the median and continue into the southbound lane.

A passenger in the Hummer, 25-year-old Holton resident Kareli Gomez-Cardona, was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Regional Health Center with minor injuries.

Livengood was injured but refused medical treatment.  Cabellero-Miramontes was not hurt.

Morse says Livengood was issued a citation for driving while suspended.
