Carol J. LaTurner, 32, of Riverton, Kan., and Kathryn L. Shaw, 21, of rural Carl Junction, were taken to St. John’s Regional Medical Center in Joplin, the report said.
LaTurner was driving an eastbound sport utility vehicle and making a left turn into the entrance when her vehicle collided with Shaw’s westbound car, the report said.
