Two people were hurt in a head-on crash south of Lathrop involving an unidentified third vehicle Thursday.

A crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol indicates that the third vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic along Missouri Route 33.

Laurie Howerton, 45, of Lathrop swerved to avoid it. Her Chevy Cobalt slid across the roadway into the path of a Subaru Outback driven by Edna Talboy, 58, of Parkville.

The head-on collision caused Howerton’s vehicle to roll onto its top in a ditch. She was taken by ambulance to Liberty Hospital with moderate injuries.

Talboy was transported to North Kansas City Hospital with moderate injuries.
