MERCER COUNTY, Mo. (KQTV) — A 36-year-old man from Bethany, Missouri, was seriously injured in a single-vehicle crash Monday.
The crash occurred around 7:42 p.m. as the man, driving a 2024 Ford F150, was northbound on Egret Avenue, just four. miles east of Cainsville.
With the roadway being gravel, dust obstructed the driver’s vision, causing him to mis-calculate a curve in the roadway, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.
The driver traveled off the roadway and struck a tree. The vehicle then continued through a field and came to rest on its wheels facing north.
According to the crash report, the driver was not wearing a seatbelt and was transported by North Missouri EMS to Harrison County Community Hospital.
