JEFFERSON COUNTY (KSNT) – A 17-year-old from Ozawkie is hospitalized following a crash in Jefferson County Thursday morning.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports the crash occurred around 7:50 a.m. on Oct. 30 where East Main Street intersects with K-4 Highway in Meriden. A Toyota Highlander was traveling east on East Main Street towards the highway while a Ford Escape was heading west on K-4.
