Four northwest Missouri teens are recovering from injuries after an accident overnight in Mercer County.

The Missouri Highway Patrol says the accident happened around 3:00 am when a 2001 Pontiac ran off the road.

The driver over-corrected and the vehicle skidded off the roadway crashing into a tree. 16-year-old driver Bincent Jackson, and 15-year-old
passenger Kyle Redmond, both of Albany, escaped with minor injuries.

16-year-old Mason Rosier of Stanberry had minor injuries and 17-year-old Hunter Sweat of Stanberry suffered what’s described as moderate injuries.

All four were wearing a seat belt and were taking to the Harrison County Community Hospital in Bethany for treatment.
