Three people were taken to Central Peninsula General Hospital on Wednesday morning following a car crash on Funny River Road.

None of the injuries was considered to be life threatening.

The Toyota was struck broadside by a Ford sedan, driven by Larry Robbins, 65, of Soldotna.

Robbins and a passenger, Marlene Robbins, 55, of Soldotna, were taken to the hospital for treatment of a possible neck and possible leg injury, respectively.

Yandell was taken to the hospital for treatment of head lacerations.

An investigation into the cause of the accident is continuing, according to a trooper spokesperson.
