HINDS COUNTY, MS (Mississippi News Now) -

Three Terry High School students were injured in a traffic accident Tuesday afternoon on Interstate 55. It happened in the northbound lanes near Wynndale Road in Hinds County.

Corporal Odis Easterling of the Mississippi Highway Patrol says the students' white Nissan Maxima ran off the highway and into the median, flipping several times.

The cable barrier kept it from crossing into oncoming traffic, but two of the teenagers were ejected from the car. One was air-lifted to a Jackson hospital. A third teen inside the car was also injured.

Easterling says two of the victims are juniors at Terry High School. The other is a sophomore.

It's not clear yet what caused them to run off the interstate.
