The driver and three passengers in the van were taken by ambulance to Jennie Stuart Medical Center. Four others involved in the wreck were taken to the hospital by private vehicles.
Christian County Emergency Director Randy Graham said in a separate wreck, just a mile from the first wreck three-vehicles, collided causing a woman in one of the vehicles to be taken to the hospital with arm injuries.
