(KNZA)--A single-vehicle early Thursday morning Atchison County wreck left three teenagers with disabling injuries.

The Kansas Highway Patrol reports 19-year-old Atchison resident Austin Hager was northbound on Greeley Road, about two miles west of Lancaster, in a Chevy Camaro when he approached the T-intersection at 286th Road and failed to stop.  His car left the roadway and struck an embankment.  The vehicle then continued on, striking a tree.

Hager and a passenger, 17-year-old Muscotah resident Jacob Hamilton, were taken by Atchison County EMS to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph.

A second passenger, 18-year-old Lancaster resident Michael Baker, was flown by Lifestar helicopter to the University of Kansas Hospital in Kansas City.

The Patrol says all three teens were not wearing seatbelts.

The wreck was reported shortly after 12:15.
