A 17-year-old boy was flown to University Hospital after he suffered serious injuries in a crash Tuesday afternoon in Phelps County, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The report says a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt – driven by the St. James boy – was heading eastbound on County Road 1000 when he failed to negotiate a curve at the intersection with County Road 1010.
The Chevrolet went off the left side of road, became airborne and stopped while facing southbound, the report says.
The boy was flown to University Hospital in Columbia. The vehicle was totaled, the report says. The boy was not wearing a seatbelt, the report says.
MSHP crash reports do not name those involved in crashes.
