Two young women were injured in a three-vehicle wreck this morning in East Columbus.
A red Dodge Charger northbound on North Lehmberg Road was making a left turn onto Bennett Avenue when it was hit on the right side by a southbound silver Honda Civic XL at about 8 a.m.
The Charger, which was driven by 17-year-old Shanique Ousley with two 15-year-old passengers, was pushed into a maroon Escalade driven by 17-year-old Zenobia Davis.
Ousley and the driver of the Civic, who had three passengers, were taken to Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle for cuts to their faces and other non-critical injuries.
Davis and the five other girls in her mother”s car, all 18 or under, were uninjured. The older-model Escalade only sat five people legally.
No one had been ticketed by 9:30 a.m. Thursday.
