Two people on motorized wheelchairs escaped injury after their support vehicle was rear-ended on US-36 highway near Cameron this morning.

Sergeant Sheldon Lyon of the Missouri State Highway Patrol says two people were on a cross-country trek on motorized wheelchairs, traveling in front of a support vehicle and trailer at about ten miles per hour.

Another vehicle crested a hill and was unable to stop in time.

The trailer and the vehicle that hit it both wound up in a roadside ditch, with the vehicle inside the trailer. Both were totaled. The van towing the trailer sustained some minor damage. The wheelchairs were not hit.

Lyon says it’s an unusual accident, and luckily no one was hurt. It’s not clear if they were able to resume their trek.
