Teen driver hospitalized after car sideswipes truck

BLUE RIDGE- A teen driver was injured in a Thursday evening accident in Harrison County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2004 GMC truck driven by Terrance J. Niemeier, 66, Pleasant Valley, was southbound on MO. 146 just south of Blue Ridge.

The truck crossed the center line and sideswiped a 1996 Ford Crown Victoria driven by Breanna R. Elder, 18, Gillman City that had also crossed the centerline.

The impact caused the truck to run off the east side of the road, strike a ditch and a fence before it came to rest in a pasture. The Ford ran off the west side of the road and came to rest in a bean field.

Elder was transported to the hospital in Bethany. Elder was not injured.

The MSHP reported both drivers were properly restrained at the time of the accident.
