(KNZA)--Two area teens were injured in one-vehicle crash Sunday afternoon at the intersection of U.S. 75 and U.S. 24 Highways in Shawnee County. 

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, 18-year-old Cylus Conser, of Valley Falls, was merging onto eastbound U.S. 24 from southbound U.S. 75 when he lost control of his Nissen Xterra and began to fishtail.  

The vehicle exited the roadway, striking a cement bridge pillar.  The vehicle then spun clockwise and struck a second cement bridge pillar.  

Conser was transported to Topeka's Stormont-Vail Hospital with suspected serious injuries. 

His passenger, 18-year-old Marysville resident Adrain Gardner, suffered suspected minor injuries but the Patrol report doesn't indicate he was transported for hospitalized treatment.  

The Patrol says Conser was not wearing a seat belt, but Gardner was buckled up when the crash occurred around 4:00 Sunday afternoon.
