Just after 1 pm today two large trucks collided at the 18 highway and FF intersection west of Adrian sending a 62 year old Butler man to the hospital for treatment of moderate injuries, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol.

The report indicates that a 2019 Kenworth driven by a 21 year old Paola, KS man turned into the path of a 2006 Peterbilt driven by the Butler man.

Both vehicles received extensive damage and were towed from the scene. The Missouri Highway Patrol was assisted by the Bates County Sheriff's Office and the Adrian Fire Department.

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.
