Car into guard rail sends one to hospital

A single car accident on 71 highway yesterday afternoon temporarily shut down a Northbound lane and sent a Marceline, MO woman to the hospital with minor injuries. Erica L. Gibson, 25, was driving a 2007 Chevrolet that ran off the left side of the roadway and struck a guard rail at the Marais des Cygnes river around 4:40 p.m.


Gibson was transported by ambulance to the Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment. Charges are pending at this time.
