THREE people were transported to Mount Gambier Hospital yesterday morning following a high speed crash near OB Flat.

Three vehicles were involved in the collision and paramedics attended to transport three occupants to hospital.

The injuries sustained by the occupants were not considered life-threatening.

A truck crashed into a car at the troublesome intersection.

No entrapments were reported and Mount Gambier Metropolitan Fire Service crews attended to clean-up the scene.
