A 17-year-old Lawrence girl suffered injuries Tuesday in a three-car collision on Iowa Street.

A 1988 Oldsmobile driven by Francis M. Thomas, 58, Lawrence was slowing for traffic on southbound Iowa about 5:20 p.m. when a 1986 Nissan driven by 17-year-old Kristina L. Mueffel struck the car from behind.
