A Laurie, Missouri man faces possible charges after a crash in Miller County on Sunday afternoon.

Danner was going too fast for the weather conditions, according to the crash report. A 14-year-old Eldon boy from Danner's car was flown by helicopter to University Hospital in Columbia with serious injuries.

Danner was arrested by troopers for DWI that caused serious physical injury, unlawful use of drug paraphernalia, and other crimes.
