Jefferson Co crash injures two early Monday

(KAIR)--Two drivers were injured in an early Monday morning Jefferson County crash about two miles east of Ozawkie, with both transported to area hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

WIBW-TV, citing Jefferson County Sheriff Jeff Herrig, reports the crash happened at the intersection of K-92 Highway and Ferguson Road shortly before 5:00 Monday morning, when an SUV northbound on Ferguson Road failed to stop for a stop sign and crashed into a car that had been eastbound on K-92.

The driver of the SUV, 29-year-old Gandarilla Gleudis Pena of Kansas City, Kansas, was taken by the Jefferson County Ambulance to Stormont Vail in Topeka.

The driver of the car, 62-year-old Matthew Grother of Ozawkie, was transported by Jefferson County Ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital.

Fire departments from Oskaloosa, Ozawkie, and Fairview assisted at the scene.

Herrig told the TV station at least one of the drivers had to be extricated.

Both of the injured were traveling alone.
