KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Three individuals, including two children, were injured in a three-vehicle crash Wednesday night on Kansas Highway 10 in Douglas County, Kansas.
The crash occurred just before 10 p.m. Wednesday between three vehicles on K-10 near the interchange with Iowa Street and U.S. Highway 59, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said on social media.
An Edwardsville woman, 36, in a Kia Optima was driving west of K-10 and entered the eastbound lane. An Olathe man, 22, driving a Ford F-150 eastbound attempted to avoid the Kia and entered the westbound lane, according to an update from the sheriff's office Friday.
The Kia and the Ford struck each other head on as the Kia returned to the westbound lane.
A Toyota Camry, driven by an Overland Park woman, 19, also collided with the Ford.
The crash shut down the highway from Wednesday night until early Thursday morning.
The sheriff's office said three occupants of the Kia were transported to Kansas City-area hospitals. Two children, ages 1 and 2, are reported to be in serious condition.
The two children are still in critical condition Friday, according to police.
Law enforcement continues to investigate the cause and contributing factors of the crash.
