Two separate crashes Sunday injured three Mid-Missouri residents when their vehicles ran off state roads. 

A Jefferson City teenager was hurt at 10:45 a.m. when the car she was driving traveled off a Ralls County roadway and struck a ditch.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports Emily R. Harmon, 19, received moderate injuries in the crash on Route N five miles east of New London.

She was transported by private automobile to Hannibal Regional Hospital for treatment.

Two people were injured Sunday when the car they occupied ran off a Gasconade County road and struck a fence and several trees.

The patrol reports Joshua K. Torrence, 26, of Bland, and Courtney E. Gould, 22, of Belle, were taken by ambulance to Phelps County Medical Center for treatment of moderate injuries. Neither was wearing a seat belt. 

Torrence was driving the car in the 8:10 a.m. crash on Route B one-half mile south of Route C, the patrol stated.
