The Highway Patrol reports three area residents sustained minor injuries in a one-vehicle accident in Ray County Tuesday afternoon.
Driver 71 year old Charles Tanner of Cowgill and passengers 52 year old Christopher Tanner and a 13 year old boy from Polo were transported to the Ray County Hospital of Richmond.
The vehicle traveled south on Rattlesnake Road when it began sliding on gravel about half of a mile north of East 212th Street. The vehicle then ran off the road and struck a fence, which caused the vehicle moderate damage.
The Patrol notes the driver and passengers wore safety devices.
