Three people were injured in a two-vehicle head-on crash on US 51 near the Boone Street Road intersection north of Sandoval Saturday morning.
Marion County Sheriff’s Deputies say a car driven by 47-year-old Monica Owens of Conger Avenue in Mt. Vernon was northbound when her pickup truck skidded on the snow-covered pavement, went out of control, and struck an oncoming SUV head-on driven by 52-year-old Sherry Hoagland of Fairydale Road in Odin. One of the vehicles came to rest on the pavement while the other ran into the ditch after impact.
Both drivers and a passenger in the Owens vehicle, 46-year-old Lakavya Henson, were all taken by ambulance to SSM Health St. Mary’s Hospital in Centralia for treatment.
The Sandoval Fire Department was called to assist at the scene.
The crash occurred at 7:08 Saturday morning.
