Five teens injured in crash near Rock Port

A single-vehicle crash in Atchison County, Missouri sent five teenage girls from Rock Port to the hospital.

A crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol says a Ford Taurus traveling southbound on Route Y northeast of Rock Port left the roadway at about 9 p.m. Friday. The vehicle continued south through a field and hit several trees before it overturned.

The driver, 16-year-old Ashley Christian, suffered minor injuries in the crash. Christian was the only occupant wearing a safety belt, according to the crash report. She was taken to Fairfax Hospital.

Four others in the vehicle suffered more serious injuries. The patrol said Abby Bradley and Brooklyn Jacob, both 15 years old, suffered serious injuries. The pair were flown to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha for treatment. Ashley Cue, 16, and Drue Kimberling, 15, suffered what were described in the report as moderate injuries. Both were taken to Fairfax Hospital.
