Multiple people were injured Tuesday afternoon in a three-car crash along Kansas Highway 10, troopers said.

A three-car accident Tuesday afternoon on Kansas Highway 10 sent five people to four area hospitals, the Kansas Highway Patrol said.

According to the Highway Patrol’s report, Milton P. Allen Jr., 68, of Lawrence, attempted at about 4 p.m. Tuesday to cross K-10 from East 1200 Road from the south in a 2013 Volkswagen Jetta. While in the roadway, his car was struck by a 2016 Dodge Dart driven by Taylor Diane Schroeder, 20, of Abilene, the report said. Allen’s car spun from the collision and collided with a 2016 Toyota Camry driven by Diana Bloom, 62, of Tecumseh. Bloom was not injured, the report said.

Allen was transported to Stormont-Vail Hospital in Topeka. No update on his condition was available Tuesday night. Schroeder and one of the passengers in her car, Miranda Lynn Drake, 23, of Lawrence, were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital where they were treated and released. Two other passengers in Schroeder’s vehicle were also hospitalized. They are Morih Guesby, 4, and Darius Jefferson, 26. Guesby was taken to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City, Mo., and Jefferson to the University of Kansas Hospital. No updates on their conditions were available Tuesday night.

In advance of the opening of the South Lawrence Trafficway earlier this month, the Kansas Department of Transportation made modifications at the K-10/East 1200 Road interchange that limited it to a right-on, right-off intersection. The changes were designed to prevent any traffic from crossing the center line from East 1200 Road.

Further information was not immediately available.
