Three people were sent to area hospitals after a crash Thursday afternoon on Interstate 80/94 in Hammond.

At 4 p.m., a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze driven by a 32-year-old woman from Riverdale, Ill., was traveling west on Interstate 80/94, a half-mile mile east of Calumet Avenue in the right lane when she lost control for unknown reasons, according to a report filed by Indiana State Trooper Alissa Partyka. The Cruze spun across westbound lanes and struck a 2007 Honda Accord, driven by a 38-year-old woman from Geneva, Ill., that was in the left lane, the report stated.

This pushed the Accord into the concrete median barrier on the inner shoulder before the Cruze spun back to the right and traveled into the westbound lanes where the Cruze hit a 2001 Lexus LX470, driven by a 56-year-old man from Dublin, Ohio, according to the report.

The Cruze came to a stop on the outer shoulder, the Accord came to a stop on the inner shoulder partially in the left lane and the Lexus came to a stop on the inner shoulder, the report stated. All three vehicles were extensively damaged and had to be towed.

A 26-year-old passenger in the Cruze was taken to Franciscan Hammond with collarbone injuries, police said.

The driver of the Accord was taken to Methodist Hospitals Northlake in Gary with a broken arm and her passenger, a 15-year-old girl from Geneva, Ill., also was taken to Northlake with complaint of pain.

Neither of the other drivers was injured.
