One person seriously injured in rural Bates county accident

According to a report filed by the Missouri Highway Patrol, a single car accident resulted in injuries to two Bates county residents during the early morning hours on August 31st.

A Chevy Malibu driven by a 19 year old female of Adrian, Mo left the roadway around 3:25 am and struck a tree near 7654 SW county road 1007 resulting in minor injuries for the driver and serious injuries for a 21 year old female passenger of Butler, Mo. Both were transported to Bates County Memorial Hospital for treatment.

The vehicle received extensive damage and was towed from the scene.

Due to a policy change, the MSHP no longer provides names of victims in publicly available accident reports. Hardcopy detailed reports are available from the MSHP at a cost of $6 with an unknown delivery time due to a severe backlog, according to the MSHP website.
