Two Edmond, Oklahoma men were injured in a crash Monday morning at Montrose.

The crash happened at 5:41am on North Spring Creek Road, just south of I-70. Effingham County Sheriff's Department reported a car driven by 22-year-old Joseph Lactus of Edmond was southbound, while a truck driven by 26-year-old Mitchell Koebele of Teutopolis was northbound, and that Lactus turned into the path of Koebele's vehicle, resulting in the collision.

Lactus and his passenger, 21-year-old Nicholas Cole of Edmond, were both injured. Both were taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham.

Lactus was cited for failure to yield, but Koebele was also cited for an expired registration sticker.
