Three people were taken from the scene to a Topeka hospital, with all suffering injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening, said Lt. Bill White of the Topeka Police Department.

A Shawnee County Emergency Communications Center dispatcher said officers and rescue workers were called to the scene at 6:32 p.m.

The SUV came to a rest facing northeast.

The minivan came to rest along the east curb further south on Adams, facing south/southeast.
