Three people were injured – one seriously – in a crash Wednesday evening on Route Z in Benton County, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The report says the crash occurred as a 2011 Ford Edge – driven by a 32-year-old man from Warsaw, Missouri – was heading westbound as a 2017 Ford Transit Van was heading in the other direction. The van was driven by a 38-year-old woman from Warsaw.
The report says the driver of the Ford Edge tried to avoid a vehicle and ended up hitting the van head-on.
The 32-year-old man was not wearing a seatbelt and suffered serious injuries, the report says. He was brought to Lake Regional Hospital by ambulance.
The driver of the van wore a seatbelt and had minor injuries, the report says. A passenger in the van – a 43-year-old Warsaw man – wore a seatbelt and had moderate injuries, the report says. The driver was brought to Golden Valley Memorial by a private vehicle, while the man was brought to Golden Valley Memorial by ambulance, according to the report.
Both vehicles were totaled. MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
