BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - Three people are in the hospital after a driver failed to yield and collided into another vehicle.
23-year-old Vanessa Ortegon was traveling westbound on East Wilson Road, when she continued to make a left turn onto southbound SR-184.
Ortegon failed to yield the right of way to 29-year-old Sylvia Espinosa, who was traveling northbound on SR-184.

Ortegon and the two children in her vehicle, Damian, 7, and 4-year-old Adrian, were taken via Hall Ambulance to Kern Medical Center.
The children were not wearing a seatbelt and sustained major injuries.
