A rural Lawrence woman was injured Thursday after her car crashed into a truck south of Lawrence.

Just before 9 p.m., the 79-year-old woman was driving a 2014 Mercedes-Benz eastbound in the 1500 block of North 1100 Road when she crossed into the opposite lane of traffic and crashed into a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado truck driven by a 47-year-old Lawrence man, said George Diepenbrock, spokesperson with the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office.

The woman was taken by ambulance to Shawnee Mission Medical Center in Merriam for treatment of a laceration on her arm. The driver and three passengers in the truck were not injured, Diepenbrock said.
