Three teenagers were injured in a Jasper County crash involving an underage driver.

State police say 14-year-old Breanna Graves of Newton was driving a pickup truck on a rural road three miles east of Bogota when the truck ran off the roadway and traveled close to 200 feet in the ditch before coming to a stop. 13-year-old Jordan Graves of Springfield and 13-year-old Anna Deck of Newton, who were riding in the back of the truck, were ejected when the crash occurred.

All three teens were taken to Richland Memorial Hospital in Olney for treatment.

Breanna Graves was cited for no valid driver's license, improper lane usage and two counts of failure to restrain underage passengers in seat belts.

The crash occurred at 7:28pm Thursday.
