Colton L. Mellenbruch 18, of Rich Hill received serious injuries in single car accident on Saturday on Route U, just north of county road 7501. The southbound 1993 GMC driven by Mellenbruch apparently crossed the highway center line, then swerved back into the right lane, then left the roadway striking an embankment.
He was transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment; the vehicle was totaled.
