Three-car wreck sends three to hospital
Three occupants of a Honda Odyssey were transported to John Peter Smith Hospital Tuesday after a wreck involving three vehicles.
A helicopter transported Dep Nguyen, 41, of Haltom City, and ambulances transported Hou Lep, 39, and Kim Pham, 47, both of Haltom City. Details about their conditions have not been released.
The accident occurred at 9:08 a.m. in the 2400 block of North Main Street in Cleburne. The Odyssey was traveling southbound on North Main Street in the center lane while a Honda Accord traveling southbound in the right-hand lane was just ahead of the Odyssey, according to police reports.
A northbound Dodge Ram in the center lane attempted to turn into a private drive but failed to yield right of way and struck the Odyssey, which in turn struck the Honda.
Neither occupant of the other vehicles suffered injury, police said. Police cited the Dodge driver for failure to yield right of way and for failure to provide proof of insurance.
