RILEY COUNTY (KSNT) - One person was seriously injured during a car crash involving three vehicles in Riley County.

The Kansas Highway Patrol responded to the crash at 8:38 a.m. on Wednesday on Kansas Highway 18 eastbound about one mile west of Seth Child Road. All three vehicles were traveling eastbound on K-18 when one of the vehicles, a Jeep Wrangler, moved into the right lane.

The second vehicle, an Infiniti G, was also in the right lane. It attempted to pass the Jeep on the left shoulder.
