A driver and two juvenile passengers were injured Thursday when their 2003 Chrysler Voyager van was rear-ended by a white Chevrolet pickup, police said.

The accident occurred at 1:10 p.m. as Patricia Lively, traveling north, was trying to make a left turn into Sonic in the 1900 Block North York Street, said Police Officer Danny Dupont.

The licensed 17-year-old driving the pickup was cited for following too close, DuPont said. She was not injured.

Lively was taken to Muskogee Regional Medical Center by a private vehicle. Her juvenile passengers, ages 16 and 17, were taken to MRMC by ambulance.

Police said they complained of neck pain.
