Kan. couple hospitalized after Andrew County crash

ANDREW COUNTY — Two people were injured in an accident just before noon Tuesday in Andrew County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2012 Ford Escape driven by Arthur J. Beem, 76, Ozawkie, was westbound on County Road 352 three miles north of St. Joseph.

The driver failed to yield at Business 71 after stopping at the stop sign. The Ford traveled into the path of a 2015 Chevy Silverado driven by David W. Deshon, 60, Savanah. The pickup struck the driver’s side of the Ford and traveled into the median.

A private vehicle transported Beem and a passenger Evelyn J. Beem, 76, Ozawkie, to Mosaic Life Care. Deshon was not injured. All three were properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the MSHP.
