One person was killed and two others injured in this morning in a three-car wreck in Whitehouse.

According to a preliminary crash report, around 6:30 a.m. Friday morning, a driver in a Toyota Camry traveling southbound on Highway 110 crossed into the northbound lanes in the path of a motorcycle. The motorcyclist tried to take evasive action and was hit by the Camry, causing the person on the bike to be ejected. The pickup truck then hit the Camry on the passenger side.

The motorcyclist died at the scene. The drivers in the Camry and the pickup were both taken to local hospitals for treatment of unknown injuries.

The crash remains under investigation.
