The driver, also aged 17, is currently detained in Monklands District General Hospital. His condition is described by staff as stable.
The 19 year old rear seat passenger sustained injuries to his foot and he is being treated within the Glasgow Royal Infirmary.
The 16 year old rear seat passenger was taken to Wishaw General Hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and has since been released.
Constable Gordon Bremner, Divisional Road Policing Department, said today:
“Although this is quite a rural road, at this time of the afternoon I am sure there would have been other cars on the road.
“I am keen to hear from anyone who may have seen the car prior to the crash. If you have any information that you feel may assist the police investigation, then please contact the Divisional Road Policing Department in Glasgow via 101.”
