1 taken to LMH after injury accident on Ninth Street

One person was transported to the hospital after an accident about 5:15 p.m. Tuesday on Ninth Street.

The street was also closed between Missouri and Louisiana streets as of 5:30 p.m. Tuesday but open again as of about an hour later.

A 20-year-old Lawrence resident was driving north on Indiana, making a left turn onto Ninth, when she failed to yield and hit a white Scion, Lawrence police Sgt. Randy Roberts said. The northbound driver was in a gray Hyundai; Roberts didn’t know the age of the driver who was hit, but he did say that she was a Lawrence woman.

The driver who was hit was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with what were believed to be nonlife-threatening injuries. She was still there as of about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.

After the Hyundai hit the Scion, the Scion hit a parked car and ended up on the Ninth Street sidewalk.

Police continued to investigate Tuesday evening, and no citations had been issued, Roberts said.
