Three people were injured Sunday afternoon in a two-vehicle collision on Highway 101 south of Buellton, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.

Firefighters and other emergency personnel were dispatched shortly after noon to the crash in the northbound lanes just north of the Nojoqui Summit, said fire Capt. Scott Safechuck.

One vehicle ended up 10-20 off the highway.

A man and woman in one vehicle both suffered minor to moderate injuries, Safechuck said. They were taken by AMR ambulance to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital.

A woman in the second vehicle sustained minor injuries, and was taken to Santa Ynez Valley Cottage Hospital.

Their names and details on their conditions were not available.

The right-hand highway lane was shut down for a time while crews tended to the injured and removed the wreckage.

The collision was under investigation by the California Highway Patrol.
