TEEGARDEN — Five people were injured after a three-vehicle accident in Marshall County on Monday afternoon.

Around 3:37 p.m. Monday, Oct. 14, Marshall County Central Dispatch received a call about a three-vehicle accident at the intersection of US 6 and Quince Road. The intersection is west of La Paz.

A 2019 GMC Terrain, driven by Jessica Sheaks, 38, Walkerton, was traveling west and failed to yield to the stopped Silverado and rear-ended the pickup truck.

The collision pushed the Silverado into the eastbound lane, where it was hit by an eastbound 2017 Chevrolet Silverado driven by Timothy Krohn, 62, Walkerton.

Five people were taken to a local hospital, including three children.
