Three were sent to the hospital Monday afternoon following a two-vehicle crash on Highway 70, west of I-35 near milepost 17.
According to the State Patrol, a Ford Explorer, driven by 59-year-old Julie Dickey, was traveling east on 70 when it crossed the centerline as the roadway curved right and stuck a Chevrolet Silverado, driven by 45-year-old Marlin James Ladean, that was traveling west.
The Silverado then drove into the north ditch, and the Explorer spun nearly 180 degrees and came to a stop on the centerline.
Both Dickey and Ladean were taken to Regions Hospital for life-threatening injuries.
Arianne Sward, a passenger in the Silverado, was taken to Welia Health and late transferred to North Memorial Hospital.
