JACKSON COUNTY — Two people were injured in an accident just after 5p.m. Monday in rural Jackson County.

A 1999 Mercury Villager driven by Jonathan Jacob Smith, 38, Cassville, Missouri, was eastbound on Kansas 16 just east of B Road near Buck's Grove in rural Havensville, according to Jackson County Sheriff Tim Morse.

The Mercury crossed the center line and collided with a westbound 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 driven by James Moore, 74, of Effingham.

EMS transported Smith and Moore to a Topeka hospital with series injuries, according to Morse.

Three other occupants of the Dodge refused transport. A third vehicle, a 2007 Ford Fusion, was also involved in the collision. Both the driver Anthony Martin Goforth, 26, of Onaga and his passenger were not injured.
