Three people were injured in  car crash on Missouri 83, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol.

A man was driving a 1999 Mazda with two people in his car when his vehicle suddenly veered off the road and struck a highway sign and a utility pole before coming to a stop.

The driver was flown to a hospital in Springfield and his tow passengers ages 51 and 23 suffered non-life threatening injuries. They were both transported to the hospital by ambulance.

Car accidents can happen quickly and when they were least expected, our thoughts and condolences are with the friends and family of the victims.
