Forsyth woman injured in crash

A Forsyth woman was hospitalized following a three-car crash in Taney County Saturday evening.

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, Jodi M. Ebersol, 37, was driving a 1997 Ford Taurus east on Taney County F, five miles north of Branson, when her car was struck head on by a 1982 Honda Goldwing that had crossed the center line. The crash caused her car to swerve into the oncoming lane, hitting a 2004 Crown Victoria head on, a patrol report said.

The report said the motorcycle, driven by Benjamin K. Sanders, 31, of Branson, was being pursued at the time by the Crown Victoria, which was driven by Bernard H. Johnson, 69, of Rockaway Beach.

Ebersol was taken to St. Johns hospital in Springfield with serious injuries, the report said. Sanders was taken to Skaggs hospital in Branson with moderate injuries and Johnson was taken to Skaggs with minor injuries, the report said.

All three were wearing seat belts, the report said.
