ELLIS COUNTY –Three people were injured in an accident just before 5 p.m. on Saturday.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reported a 2003 Volkswagen Beetle driven by Caleigh J. Befort, 17, Hays was southbound on U.S. 183 two miles north of Interstate 70.

The vehicle rear-ended a southbound 2002 Suzuki mini-van driven by Caleb B. Snow, 20, Hays that was preparing to make a left turn in to a driveway.

The collision pushed the van into the northbound traffic and it collided with a 2010 Ford F-150 driven by Dennis L. Babcock, 68, Phillipsburg.

Snow, Befort and Babcock were transported to Hays Medical Center.

Eagle Med later transported Babcock to a hospital in Wichita.

Babcock and Befort were not wearing seat belts, according to the KHP.
