More details on K-10 crash that injured Olathe woman, 9-month-old daughter at intersection of 27th Street

A mother and her 9-month-old daughter were sent to the hospital Monday morning after their Mazda SUV was rear-ended by another SUV along the South Lawrence Trafficway, state troopers said.

Around 9:40 a.m., a Toyota 4Runner, eastbound on Kansas Highway 10 rear-ended the woman’s Mazda CX5 near the highway’s intersection with West 27th Street, according to a Kansas Highway Patrol crash report. The Mazda had slowed to stop at the intersection’s traffic light.

After the initial crash the Mazda was forced forward, hitting an eastbound Pontiac G6, which had also stopped at the light, the report says. In addition to hitting the Mazda, the Toyota entered the westbound lane and hit a Dodge Dakota.

Jennifer Price, 26, of Olathe, and her infant daughter were driven by ambulance to Lawrence Memorial Hospital, the report says.

Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Dan Wills said Monday that Price and her daughter were injured, but their conditions did not appear to be life threatening.

A man driving the Toyota, a woman driving the Pontiac and a man driving the Dodge were not injured in the crash, the report says. The three vehicles did not have any passengers inside.
