Traffic was shut down Monday morning on U.S. Highway 59 about eight miles south of Lawrence after a two-vehicle accident.

Medics were still getting to the scene at 7:35 a.m. Monday, but they reported both vehicles had major damage.

At least one person was said to have suffered a leg injury, but the person’s injuries were not believed to be critical. Lawrence Douglas County Fire Medical supervisors canceled a helicopter ambulance that was on standby.

The crash occurred near North 500 Road on the highway, which is five miles north of the Franklin County line.
