A three-vehicle accident Thursday evening, three miles north of Cape Girardeau on County Road 620 injured a Cape Girardeau teenager and two Jackson residents. It occurred at 6:10 p.m.

The Missouri Highway Patrol at Poplar Bluff reported that Sarah Hermann, 16, and Edna Phillips, 83, of Jackson received moderate injuries. A third person, William Phillips, 48, of Jackson sustained minor injuries, said the patrol.

Hermann was taken to St. Francis Medical Center, where she was treated and released.

The patrol reported that William and Edna Phillips were taken to Southeast Missouri Hospital. A hospital spokesman said Edna Phillips was hospitalized in fair condition, but had no record of treating William Phillips.

The spokesperson said Hermann drove a southbound 1990 Dodge Caravan onto the wrong side of the road and into the path of a northbound 1974 International driven by William Phillips. Their vehicle spun around in the road and struck a third vehicle, a 1985 Honda, driven north by John Ritter, 20, of Cape Girardeau, he said.
