Winter road conditions continue to cause crashes

MSHP patchThe Missouri State Highway Patrol reports a lot of accidents caused in part by snowy or icy road conditions.

Two people were hurt in a crash along 195th Avenue west of Bethany Wednesday afternoon. A crash report says Isaac Smith of New Hampton, Missouri lost control of his truck shortly before 1 p.m. The vehicle left the snow-packed roadway and overturned onto the passenger side.

Mr Smith suffered minor injuries and refused treatment. His passenger Katherine Laytham suffered moderate injuries. The 24-year-old New Hampton woman was transported to Harrison County Community Hospital.

A Mooresville, Missouri woman suffered moderate injuries after a crash along US-36 highway in Livingston County. Authorities say 74-year-old Sharon Schneiter’s vehicle went out of control on an ice-covered bridge at the Grand River, hitting both guard rails numerous times.

Ms Schneiter was transported to Hedrick Medical Center with moderate injuries.
