CRAWFORD CO., Kan. (WIBW) - Three people were seriously injured after a 2-vehicle collision near Pittsburg over the weekend.

The Kansas Highway Patrol Crash Log indicates that just after 11:20 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 19, emergency crews were called to the area of 570th Ave. and S. 200th St. - about 2 miles north of K-126 - with reports of a 2-vehicle collision.

When first responders arrived, they said they found a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu driven by Destiny J. Love, 20, of Pittsburg, had been headed north on S. 200th St. Meanwhile, a 2006 Honda Ridgeline driven by Jerry O. Jones, 84, of Girard, had been headed west on E. 570th Ave.

KHP indicated that the only occupant not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision was Jones.
