A Monroe County woman was taken to University Hospital with serious injuries after a crash that closed a lane of a Boone County highway Friday.
The 39-year-old woman was riding in an SUV when a compact car tried to make a U-turn on Highway 763 near Prathersville Road. The SUV hit the car as the car tried to make the turn, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.
The 69-year-old SUV driver had minor injuries and was taken by private vehicle to Moberly Regional Medical Center. The driver of the car that tried the U-turn refused medical attention, the report states.
The SUV passenger was not wearing a seat belt, the report states.
The crash led authorities to close the southbound lane of Highway 763.
Boone County emergency dispatchers sent an alert to the public at about 2:15 p.m. warning about a collision at Highway 763 and Wagon Trail Road, just north of Prathersville. A second alert about an hour later said the road was fully reopened.
