FAYETTEVILLE -- A Washington County Sheriff's Office deputy was injured Wednesday morning in a two-vehicle accident on Arkansas 12 east of Rogers.

The deputy was treated at Mercy Hospital in Rogers and released. The deputy wasn't identified.

According to Chief John Whisenant with the Beaver Lake Fire Department, the driver of the second car was treated at the scene but declined to be taken to a hospital.
