Three people, including a 17-year-old and a Sonoma County Sheriff's Office community service officer, were hospitalized after a three-vehicle crash Friday morning outside Glen Ellen.

At about 10:34 a.m., a 17-year-old was driving a Ford Mustang east on Bennett Valley Road near Keiser Ranch Road when, for reasons under investigation, they veered into the oncoming lane, California Highway Patrol spokesperson Officer David deRutte said Friday afternoon.

A Sherriff’s Office community service officer driving a white van swerved to avoid the Mustang and collided with a tree. A Honda Accord driven by a woman was behind the van and was hit head-on.

All three drivers were transported to Santa Rosa Memorial Hospital for moderate injuries, deRutte said Sunday.
