Three people were injured in a two vehicle auto accident that occurred on Wednesday afternoon in the north end of Jasper County.

Police, fire and other emergency crews were dispatched to the intersection of Highway 96 and Recreational Road 255 shortly before 5:00 when it was reported that the crash had occurred and arrived to find one of the vehicles, a 2013 Dodge Ram pickup truck laying on it’s side in the southbound lane of Highway 96.
