A Holden woman was injured in a two-vehicle crash that occurred Wednesday morning in Johnson County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a westbound 1995 Honda Civic, driven by 52-year-old David M. Carrender of Sweet Springs, ran off the left side of the roadway. A westbound 2003 Ford Taurus, driven by 46-year-old Melissa T. Collins of Holden, then overcorrected, ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a rock wall.

The Honda then returned to the roadway, coming to rest in the right lane of US 50, just east of Missouri 131 around 5:39 a.m.

The Taurus swerved to avoid hitting the Civic and ran off the right side of the roadway.
