Two people were hurt after a crash near Melvern Lake on Tuesday afternoon.
Osage County Sheriff Chris Wells says the crash on US Highway 75 was reported shortly before 1:30 pm. Wells says a minivan driven by 25-year-old Alexander Bowers of Topeka was northbound on US-75 when he crossed the center line for unknown reasons. Bowers’ minivan hit a southbound car driven by 73-year-old Ronald Stockebrand of Yates Center.
Stockebrand and his passenger, 67-year-old Patricia Stockebrand, were taken to an unspecified Topeka hospital. Their condition reports have not been released. There is no condition report for Bowers.
