An Iowa man was injured in a crash north of Princeton, Missouri Saturday night.

Investigators say Larry Veditt, 57, of Lineville, Iowa made an abrupt turn along U.S. Highway 65 and hit another vehicle in oncoming traffic.

Devitt was transported to Decator County Hospital with moderate injuries. The other driver was not hurt.

A single-vehicle crash near Watson, Missouri early Saturday morning sends a Kansas City man to the hospital with moderate injuries.

A crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol says Matthew Zombo, 21, of Kansas City, Missouri, was a passenger in a vehicle that went out of control on exit ramp 116 off I-29. The vehicle left the ramp, slid across route A and went airborne before hitting a ditch.

Mr. Zombo was taken to Grape Community Hospital. The driver, a Council Bluffs, Iowa man, refused medical treatment.

A crash Friday in Holt county claimed the life of an Oregon, Missouri man, and sent a Mound City man to jail on charges of involuntary manslaughter.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol identifies the victim as 75-year-old Russell Neiderhouse. The crash report says he was killed when Robert Brandon of Mound City turned left along Route-N and hit Neiderhouse’s vehicle.

The accident happened two miles north of Mound city at Route-HH at 11:19am Friday. By Saturday, Mr Brandon was charged with involuntary manslaughter involving a vehicle and an intoxicated driver.

Online court documents do not reflect bail or when the defendant is due in court for a first appearance.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol is already planning to hold special operations next month in Andrew County to try to prevent drinking-related crashes.

Sometime during the month of July, Troop H plans to hold a sobriety checkpoint and a DWI saturation in Andrew County. Capt. James E. McDonald, commanding officer said the areas selected are based on a high number of drinking-related crashes, high number of contacts with drivers who have been drinking, and officers’ input as to probable contact with DWI violators.

“Impaired driving poses a significant threat to motorists on Missouri’s roadways,” McDonald said. “One of the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s highest priorities is removing the impaired driver from our roadways. If drinking is part of your plans, choose a sober designated driver.”

Sign-ups are being taken for a fundraising event involving coffee and the arts to benefit the Missoula Children’s Theatre.

The St. Joseph Performing Arts Association and Café Pony Espresso are teaming up for a new Coffee & Canvas fundraiser to help to offset the costs of the Missoula Children’s Theatre.

The event will be held Friday, July 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Pony Espresso located at 114 S 8th St. in downtown St. Joseph.  Local artist and muralist Tracie Irvan will help participants to create their own artwork.  The cost for the evening is $35.00. All supplies are provided. However, seating is limited to 20 patrons.

Proceeds will benefit the Saint Joseph Performing Arts Association and provide funds to continue the Children’s Theatre.

Beth Sharp with the Arts Association said Missoula Children’s Theatre is a week-long residency for local children put on by a team of two from Missoula, Montana. The week starts with an open audition, followed by a week of rehearsals, culminating in a full-fledged theatrical production open to the public. The next Missoula Residency will be Rapunzel from November 28 through December 3.
