Two injured in three-vehicle Brown County wreck

(KNZA)--Two people were injured Friday evening in a three-vehicle crash in Brown County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says the crash happened around 6 p.m. at U.S. 36 Highway and Coyote Road, east of Fairview.

The Patrol says a van driven by 33-year-old Francisco Torres-Melendez, whose address was listed as unknown, was stopped while attempting to turn north when it was rear-ended by an eastbound car driven by 51-year-old Mandy Nott of Holton.

The impact sent the van into the westbound lane, where it was struck on the passenger side by a pickup driven by 43-year-old Holly Grant of Horton.

Torres-Melendez was taken to Amberwell Health in Hiawatha with suspected serious injuries. Nott was taken to Sabetha Community Hospital with suspected minor injuries.

Grant was not injured.

The Patrol says all three were alone in their vehicles and were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
