Injury Accident

• Two people were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital Wednesday evening with nonlife-threatening injuries after a two-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 40 west of Lawrence, emergency dispatchers said.

About 7:45 p.m., the driver of a westbound sport-utility vehicle in the 300 section of U.S. 40 slammed on the brakes to avoid a deer, and a westbound U-Haul then struck the SUV from behind, said Lt.
