A three-car collision near Toledo today totaled all three vehicles and sent two people to the hospital.

Michael J. Freedman, 21, of Toledo, sustained a head injury and was taken to Providence Centralia Hospital after the approximately 12:40 p.m. wreck, according to the Washington State Patrol.

Freedman was eastbound on Plomondon Road, and ran the stop sign as he attempted to cross state Route 505, according to the state patrol. A northbound Honda Accord struck his 1970 Toyota Corona which spun around and ran into a Ford Escape waiting at the stop sign on Jackson Highway, the patrol reported.

Melanie D. Chastain, 51, of Chehalis, the driver of the Honda, was taken to Providence with strains and bruises, according to the investigating trooper. The 72-year-old driver of the Escape, John H. Ross, of Toledo, was reportedly uninjured.
