Two people in their 60s were seriously injured Wednesday in a crash on Route C in Cole County, just south of Spring Ridge Road, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The report says the driver of a Honda CR-V – a 67-year-old woman from Meta, Missouri – tried to turn southbound onto Route B and traveled into the path of a 2018 Freightliner Cascadia.

The woman and her passenger – a 66-year-old man from Meta – were flown to University Hospital with serious injuries, according to the report. The woman wore a seatbelt and the man did not, the report says.

The driver of the Freightliner – a 71-year-old man from Henley, Missouri – wore a seatbelt and had no reported injuries.

The Honda was totaled and the semi-truck had moderate damage, the report says.
