The Kansas Highway Patrol reported two accidents Tuesday on southbound Interstate 435.

The first took place at about 9 a.m. and involved two vehicles a mile south of Kansas Avenue, caused by a driver losing control. The other driver was taken to Providence Medical Center for treatment of possible injuries.

The second accident happened at 6:17 p.m., just south of Kansas Avenue, and involved five cars. The accident occurred after a car struck the guardrail and got turned around in traffic. The driver of that car and another driver were injured and both were taken to the University of Kansas Hospital for treatment of injuries.
