Man seriously injured in two vehicle crash in Buchanan County

A crash involving a semi and a car sent a man to the hospital Thursday in Buchanan County.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Robert Clark, 55 of Grandview was driving a 2007 Dodge Charger west on Route H and Kenneth Hecker, 53 of Wathena, Kan. was driving a 2003 Mack tractor-trailer north on Route A when the crash took place around 4:25 p.m. about four miles north of Faucett.

The Patrol said Clark turned north onto Route A from the south intersection of Route H into the path of the semi. The report said, Clark tried to make an immediate turn west onto the Route H at the North Junction and Hecker tried to avoid the car by traveling into the southbound lanes of Route A. The semi hit the car on the left side. The charger then continued west off the road through a fence and came to a stop.

Clark was transported by ambulance to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of what was described as a serious injury. He was reported to be wearing a seat belt.
