Three people were injured in a crash on US 45 at Dutch Lane Sunday afternoon.

Effingham County Sheriff's Department reports a SUV driven by 31-year-old Ashley Grigg of Effingham collided with a SUV driven by 74-year-old Kenneth Bowman of Mason at 12:35pm. Deputies say Grigg stopped at the intersection and then proceeded across the highway, striking the Bowman vehicle. The impact caused the Bowman vehicle to overturn several times, coming to rest on its wheels. 

Bowman had to be extricated from his vehicle, and was airlifted by Arch Air to Carle Hospital in Urbana for treatment. His passenger, 69-year-old Marvena Bowman of Mason, was also injured and was taken to HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham for treatment. Grigg was also injured and was also taken to St. Anthony's.

Deputies cited Grigg for disobeying a stop sign.

Route 45 was closed for about 45 minutes following the crash.
