A Tarkio man was seriously injured in a two vehicle wreck Monday morning on US 59.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, 31-year-old William C. Ratcliff was half a mile north of Tarkio, traveling south on 59 in a Chevrolet Malibu around 11 a.m. Monday. Ratcliff’s vehicle crossed the center of the road and hit the towed unit of a GMC Sierra driven by 49-year-old Douglas A. Savage of Omaha. The Malibu went off the east side of the road into a ditch and the Sierra came to rest on its wheels on the east side of the road.

Ratcliff was transported by Atchison/Holt County Ambulance to a hospital with serious injuries. Savage was uninjured.
