Three children were injured Thursday afternoon in Ellsinore when a pickup failed to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The crash happened at 3:52 p.m. on April 9 on Missouri Route V. Troopers say a northbound 2015 GMC Sierra driven by a 36‑year‑old Ellsinore woman did not stop for the children as they crossed the roadway.
