The names of the injured were not immediately known but the other occupants were four women. The three seriously injured women were taken to the Lachmipersad Mungra Regional Hospital in Nickerie.
Police said the accident happened a short distance from the Wageningen Airport.
Neither the licence number of the vehicle nor the names of the injured were immediately available. The vehicle was described as a black Toyota Landcruiser.
