Six people were hospitalized Monday following a major vehicle accident, according to Los Fresnos Fire Chief Gene Daniels.
The crash happened at Highway 100 and FM 803 at around 7:30 a.m.
According to Los Fresnos police spokesman Cmdr. Charlie Banda, a small Kia vehicle was exiting a private drive onto Highway 100 and failed to yield the right of way. This caused a white pickup truck to collide with the Kia, sending the truck onto oncoming traffic and hitting a blue SUV.
According to Daniels, one woman who wasn't wearing a seatbelt was ejected from the vehicle.
Four other people were hospitalized with minor injuries.
The three women in the Kia are expected to be OK, Banda said, adding that the driver of the Kia was released from the hospital.
One man was in the SUV. The pickup truck was occupied by a man and a woman. All three were released from the hospital, Banda said Monday evening.
