Teen injured in Henry County crash

On 9:25pm last night the Missouri State Highway Patrol in Henry County responded to a one vehicle accident on Missouri 7 Highway just South of NW 800 in rural Henry County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol in Henry County says the accident occurred when the 2008 Jeep driven by 18 year old Dakotah L. Jones of Windsor, Missouri swerved to miss a deer in the roadway and traveled off the right side of the roadway, striking a ditch.

Mr. Jones sustained minor injuries in this accident and he was transported by ambulance to Golden Valley Memorial Hospital in Clinton, Missouri for treatment.

The Jeep received minor damages and was towed from the scene by Golden Valley Tow.

Deer disease prompts mandatory testing in parts of Missouri

ST. LOUIS (AP) - The Missouri Department of Conservation plans mandatory inspections of deer killed in 29 counties during the opening weekend of the November firearms season as part of an effort to battle a deadly deer disease.

The department has established a "Chronic Waste Disease Management Zone" in northern and central Missouri for the weekend of Nov. 12-13, the busiest period for deer hunting in Missouri.

It is the state's first-ever mandatory testing for chronic wasting disease, which produces holes in brain tissue and causes the animals to die. There is no cure.

Since 2001, 33 cases of chronic wasting disease have been confirmed - 21 in Macon County, 9 in Adair County, and one each in Cole, Franklin and Linn counties. The zone includes those counties and neighboring areas.
