ROSSVILLE — No serious injuries were reported Monday morning in a two-vehicle collision in northwestern Shawnee County that restricted traffic on a highway for about an hour.

Emergency crews were called about 7:45 a.m. to the intersection of N.W. US-24 highway and Main in Rossville after a pickup truck and passenger car collided.

Authorities initially indicated one person suffered serious injuries in the crash, but officers later said those injuries didn’t require ambulance transportation to a hospital.

Shawnee County sheriff’s deputies on the scene said the crash occurred when a white Chevrolet passenger car that was northbound on Main failed to yield the right of way, pulling out in front of a gray Ford F-150 pickup truck that was eastbound on US-24 highway.

The driver’s side of the Chevy was heavily damaged, and the pickup truck’s front end also was damaged.

The vehicles came to rest against each other facing east on the northeast corner of the intersection.

Officers directed traffic around the crash scene until tow trucks arrived and moved the crashed vehicles.
