(KAIR)--A McLouth driver escaped injury, but a Tonganoxie man, behind the wheel of a cargo van, required hospital transport, after their vehicles collided Monday afternoon in Johnson County, Kansas.

According to a report from the Kansas Highway Patrol, both drivers were northbound, in separate lanes, of I435, just north of Shawnee Mission Parkway.

The Patrol says it was when the van, driven by 45-year-old Christopher Putthoff, attempted to make a lane change, he collided with the pickup truck, driven by 54-year-old Shawn Quinn. The impact, the KHP says, caused Putthoff's van to spin into the left median, which caused it to roll over.

He was transported for the treatment of suspected minor injuries at the University of Kansas Hospital, in Kansas City, Kansas.

Quinn, of McLouth, incurred no apparent injury in the wreck, which the KHP says happened around 4:15 Monday afternoon.

Both drivers were buckled up at the time of the crash.
