(KNZA)--Two people were injured Monday evening when a pickup truck rear-ended a Buchanan County Sheriff's patrol vehicle on U.S. Highway 36 east of St. Joseph.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash happened just before 5:30 p.m., about six-and-a-half miles east of St. Joseph.

According to the Patrol, a pickup driven by a 24-year-old St. Joseph man was traveling eastbound when it failed to yield to a stationary Buchanan County Sheriff's SUV with its emergency lights activated. The pickup struck the rear of the patrol vehicle, which was being driven by a 30-year-old St. Joseph woman.

Both drivers suffered suspected minor injuries and were taken to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph. The Patrol says both were wearing seat belts.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of crash victims.
