A three-car accident on Highway 72 three miles west of Millersville injured four people Friday night.

The accident occurred at 7:07 p.m. on a curve when a westbound car driven by Magdalene Beussink, 19, of Jackson attempted to pass a westbound car driven by James Starkey, 26, of Marquand.

Beussink's vehicle struck head-on an eastbound car driven by Joshua Barker, 17, of Fredericktown, the Missouri Highway Patrol said.

Beussink, Barker and two passengers in Barker's vehicle, Sarah Knight, 16, and Jacob Rodriguez, 17, of Fredericktown, were injured.

All four were taken to St. Francis Medical Center in Cape Girardeau. Beussink, Knight and Rodriguez were treated and released.

Barker was admitted and was in satisfactory condition Saturday night.
