Three people escaped with minor injuries after a rear-end collision east of Altamont, Missouri. Traffic investigators say a Buick driven by 68-year-old Carolyn Hester of Gallatin was struck from the rear as she was turning left off of Missouri Route 6 shortly after 4 p.m. Wednesday.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol say Michael Rumsower, 40, of Cameron, and Benjamin Woody, 33, of Kidder were in the second vehicle and were also injured.

All three were taken to Cameron Regional Medical Center with what were described as minor injuries.
