The patient was airlifted to Research Medical Center in Kansas City for treatment and his current disposition is unknown. The MSHP was assisted at the scene by fire department personnel and the Bates County Sheriff's Office.
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.
