Four Mormon missionaries, including two from Utah, and their driver were injured in a collision Monday evening in Spain.

Caden K. Randall, 18, of Kaysville, and Hunter J. Bushman, 19, of Farmington, suffered minor injuries, according to a news release Tuesday from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

Mason T. Heninger, 20, of Cardston, Alberta, and Gabriel E. Iñesta Olmo, 19, of Bayamon, Puerto Rico, were seriously injured and underwent surgery.

They are “stable and recovering,” the Salt Lake City-based faith said.

The crash occurred when the vehicle carrying the missionaries collided with a truck, the release said. The vehicle’s driver, whom the missionaries had been teaching, also was seriously hurt.
