(KNZA)--Two people were seriously injured in an ATV crash in southeastern Jackson County Friday night.

Sheriff Tim Morse says the crash was reported around 9:45 p.m. in the 19-thousand block of 142nd Road, near the Jefferson County line.

Authorities say a man from Valley Falls and a woman from McLouth were traveling westbound on an ATV when it struck a dog. The impact caused the driver to lose control, and the vehicle rolled.

Both individuals were taken to a Topeka hospital with life-threatening injuries.

Jackson County EMS, along with fire crews from Hoyt, Mayetta, and the Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation, responded to the scene.
