     (AP) – Three people, including a 2-year-old Texas boy, have died

in a wrong-way crash in eastern Missouri.

     The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports the crash occurred early Sunday in

Franklin County when a car traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of

Interstate 44 struck the left front corner of a minivan.

     The patrol identifies those killed in the crash as 26-year-old Robert S.

way on the highway, and the Settipallis, of Plano, Texas, were in the minivan.

     The patrol says five other occupants in the minivan sustained injuries ranging

from minor to serious.
