A lesson in driving turned into an accident that sent people to the hospital Sunday in Bainbridge.

According to Bainbridge Fire Chief Kevin Thorson, there was a single car accident on the grounds of Bainbridge Elementary. 

"They were teaching them the basics on how to drive a vehicle. Apparently, the driver got nervous and panicked. The vehicle ran over the curb and struck a tree, not the building. The tree will be removed tomorrow," Thorson told The Putnam County Post. 

Thorson said the driver was not a minor and three occupants were treated for minor injuries and transported to the hospital to be checked out.
