(KNZA)--An early Sunday evening Brown County two-vehicle weather-related wreck sent three people to the hospital.

The Kansas Highway Patrol says it happened on K-20 Highway, west of Hazelnut Road, around 5:00.

According to the KHP report, 41-year-old Cesar Lopez, of Hiawatha, was eastbound in slushy and slick road conditions when he lost control of his pickup truck. Lopez slid into the westbound lane, striking a SUV driven by 45-year-old Chad Miller, of St. Joseph, Missouri, head-on.

Lopez was transported to Amberwell Hospital in Hiawatha with suspected serious injuries.

Miller and a passenger in his vehicle, 46-year-old Shelly Miller, of St. Joseph, were also transported to the hospital.

The Patrol says Chad Miller suffered suspected serious injuries, and Shelly Miller suspected minor injuries.

The Patrol says the Miller's were buckled up when the wreck occurred, while it was not known if Lopez was wearing a seatbelt.
