OSAGE BEACH, Mo. - An unusual accident Tuesday ended with a 23-year-old woman in serious condition and three cars damaged. Two of the damaged vehicles flipped and landed on their roofs in the BP gas station parking lot next to Bud's Place.

Landon Vann of Roach, Mo., was headed eastbound on Highway 54 when his Ford Escort allegedly sideswiped a GMC Jimmy traveling in the same direction. The accident occurred in front of Kentucky Fried Chicken, according to the Osage Beach Police.

Vann's vehicle continued eastbound, veered left across westbound lanes, jumped the curb in front of BP gas station, went airborne and landed on top of a parked Dodge Caravan. Both vehicles flipped onto their tops sending debris flying into boats parked at Bud's Place directly next to the BP station.

A passenger in Vann's Escort, who was not wearing a safety belt, sustained serious injuries and was transported to Lake Regional Hospital.

Vann suffered minor injuries. He was wearing a safety device.
