WENTZVILLE, MO – Three adults and three children, aged 5 to 8, were hurt Friday in a T-bone accident in St. Charles County, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred just before 2 p.m. at the intersection of Mexico Road and Highway A as a 2015 Chrysler 300 was turning left onto Enterprise Drive and into the path of a 2016 Nissan Altima.

Two occupants of the Chrysler, 28-year-old Melana R. Ellis and 24-year-old Akirah B. Honeywood, refused treatment of minor injuries at the scene of the crash.
The driver of the Altima, 32-year-old Wentzville man Jared J. Woodard, as well as two 5-year-olds and an 8-year-old who were occupants of the vehicle, were taken to St. Joseph Hospital for the treatment of minor wounds.
