Wet pavement is being blamed for a crash in Clinton County Wednesday that sent a St Joseph man to the hospital.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Scott Brashears lost control of his pickup along US-169 north of Trimble at 6:30 Wednesday morning. The vehicle crossed the center line, went off the east side of the roadway and up an embankment where it overturned once, landing on its wheels.

Passenger Christopher Schroeder, 53, of St Joseph, was transported to North Kansas City Hospital with moderate injuries. Brashears was not hurt.
