One person was taken to an area hospital as a precaution after a two-car accident near U.S. 24-59 and U.S. 40 Highways the morning of Saturday, Jan. 30, 2016.

One person was taken to an area hospital with minor injuries Saturday morning after a two-vehicle accident on U.S. Highway 24-59 just north of Lawrence, said Lt. Lyle Hagenbuch with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Department.

A Ford Ranger northbound on U.S. 24-59 near the intersection with U.S. Highway 40 was making a left-hand turn into a private drive around 10 a.m. Saturday when a Chevy Suburban heading south struck it, Hagenbuch said.

Both drivers were walking and talking after the accident, Hagenbuch said, but one was taken to a hospital with minor injuries as a precaution.

The accident is still under investigation, but Hagenbuch said he was not aware of alcohol as a factor and he believes both drivers were wearing seatbelts.
