OLATHE- Two people were injured in an accident just after 12-noon on Thursday in Johnson County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2003 Chevy driven by Shawndra R. Barnes, 44, Fontana, was northbound on U.S.169 one mile south of 183rd Street in Olathe when it attempted to change lanes, almost striking a 2000 Honda Civic driven by Ashley D. Balleza-Rojas, 18, Overland Park.

The Chevy swerved back into its lane and the driver lost control of the vehicle. It left the right side of the roadway, reentered the roadway and struck the Honda in the side.

Barnes and Balleza-Rojas were transported to Olathe Medical Center. A passenger in the Honda was not injured.

The KHP reported all were properly restrained at the time of the accident.
