Two Lawrence men were taken to the hospital Tuesday afternoon after a two-vehicle accident two miles south of Lawrence on U.S. Highway 59.

According to the Kansas Highway Patrol, 30-year-old Dennis Supancic Jr. at 3 p.m. was attempting in his southbound Chevrolet Cobalt to turn left onto North 1000 Road when he was rear-ended by a 2000 Nissan Maxima driven by 73-year-old Robert Hershiser.

Both men, who wore their seat belts, were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. According to a nursing supervisor, Supancic was treated and released Tuesday afternoon and Hershiser was expected to be released after receiving treatment as well.
