The Toyota went into the median and hit a road sign. The Buick crossed eastbound Highway 54 and struck a rock bluff. 

Teutenberg, of Linn Creek, and his passenger, Mary Box, 66, of Camdenton, as well as Voegeli were in serious condition, according to the Highway Patrol. All three were brought to University Hospital in Columbia by ambulance.

MU Health Care said Teutenberg was in fair condition and Box is in good condition.
