Graves County collision sends three to hospital

Three people were treated for injuries after a collision in Graves County on Saturday night.

Graves County deputies responded to the intersection of Hopewell Road and Moonlight Drive in reference to a two-motor vehicle collision with reported injuries.

Deputies said that a 15-year-old male was driving a car on Hopewell Road with a 14-year-old female passenger when the vehicle crossed into the opposing lane and collided head-on with a pickup driven by 55-year-old Paul J. Cobb of Graves County.

Both juveniles and Cobb were transported to Jackson Purchase Medical Center for treatment of non-life threating injuries. 

Following the investigation, the male juvenile was cited to court for an instructional permit violation.
