(KNZA)--A late Monday morning in a one-vehicle Buchanan County, Missouri crash sent three St. Joseph residents to the hospital.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 19-year-old Arial Parker was northbound on Missouri Route 371, about four miles south of St. Joseph, when her pickup truck traveled off the highway and struck an embankment. The vehicle went airborne about 80 feet before it struck the ground and overturned.
Parker and her two passengers, 23-year-old Dakota Tollefson and 29-year-old Spencer Tollefson, were transported by ambulance to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph. The Patrol says Parker and Dakota Tollefson suffered suspected serious injuries, while Spencer Tollefson suffered moderate injuries.
The Patrol says all three occupants were not wearing seatbelts when the wreck occurred shortly before 11:30 Monday morning.
