However, Sullins vehicle also traveled onto the southbound shoulder and struck Watkins vehicle head-on.
Daniel Watkins and two passengers in his vehicle, 1-year-old Owen Watkins and 2-year-old Chase Watkins, were transported to the K-U Medical Center in Kansas City.
The Patrol says the two children, who were wearing safety restraints, received possible injuries. The two drivers were not wearing seatbelts.
