The intersection is northeast of Lawrence’s Youth Sports Complex.

The Mazda, in turn, hit the vehicle directly in front of it, Wills said. During the accident, one of the three eastbound cars crossed the center lane and clipped a westbound car.

A mother and her child inside the Mazda were driven by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital with nonlife-threatening injuries, Wills said. He did not know any identifying information regarding the two injured people or any of the other people involved in the accident.

As emergency responders arrived on the scene traffic around the intersection slowed but kept flowing.

This is the second accident along the South Lawrence Trafficway within a week. On Tuesday, five people were injured in a three-car accident at the intersection of K-10 and East 1200 Road.
