Two Columbia drivers had serious injuries after one turned in front of the other early Thursday on Route WW at El Chaparral Avenue.

The crash happened shortly before 7 a.m. when a car driven by Victoria Swearengin, 33, turned left in front of a cargo van that was coming from the opposite direction, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.

Swearengin and the van driver, Matthew Amburgey, 21, were taken to University Hospital by Boone County ambulance. Neither one was wearing a seat belt, the report says. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
