Three people were injured in a Friday night crash on Route 13 at New Baldwin Road near New Athens in St. Clair County.

Illinois State Police said that shortly before 9:30 p.m., a white 2011 Nissan Altima driven by Kayla M. Wozniak, 30, of Arnold, Mo., was traveling south and a maroon 2016 GMC Terrain driven by Hope M. Geisel, 42, of Marissa, was traveling east.
