Stormy weather leaves slick driving conditions

rain clouds stormSevere weather overnight caused no serious damage or injury, but left behind enough rain to cause some dangerous driving conditions. The storm produced pea-sized hail and 40 mile per hour winds near Tarkio last night.

Wet pavement contributed to a crash in Harrison County that sent an Iowa man to the hospital. The Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report says 61-year-old Thomas Friend of Iowa Falls, Iowa lost control of his vehicle on I-35 south of Eagleville at about 11:25pm Tuesday.

The vehicle hydroplaned off the road, hit an embankment and overturned. Mr Friend was transported to Harrison County Community Hospital with moderate injuries.

Slick driving conditions contributed to another accident in Gentry County just after midnight Wednesday morning. The crash report says Brian J Meyer of Denver, Missouri suffered moderate injuries in the rollover crash south of Stanberry.

The crash report says Mr Meyer lost control of his car along US-169 highway when it started to hydroplane on the wet roadway. The vehicle left the highway and overturned. Meyer was transported to Northwest Medical Center in Albany with moderate injuries.
