Wet pavement is blamed in part for a Nodaway County crash that sent a Nebraska woman to the hospital with serious injuries.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Courtney Bybee was driving westbound on U.S. Highway 136 three miles west of Burlington Junction at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday when her vehicle began to hydroplane.
The vehicle crossed the highway and careened into a ditch, where it caught fire.
The 21-year-old Bellevue, Nebraska woman was transported to Fairfax Community Hospital for treatment.
