COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two teenagers were seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash Thursday on Jones Road in Pettis County, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.

The report says a 2003 Nissan Xterra was heading northbound when it went off the right side of the road. The driver -- an 18-year-old woman from La Monte, Missouri – overcorrected several times before the vehicle overturned and stopped on its side, the report says. One passenger was ejected from the vehicle, the report says.

The report says a 16-year-old girl from Zillah, Washington, had serious injuries and was flown to Research Hospital, while the 18-year-old woman also had serious injuries, but was brought to Centerpoint by ambulance. Neither of them wore seatbelts, according to the report.

A 20-year-old man from Palmer, Alabama, had minor injuries, but was not transported to a hospital, the report says. It is not known if the man wore a seatbelt.

The vehicle was totaled.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
