EDITOR'S NOTE: The crash location has been corrected.

A Columbia boy and Shelbina woman were thrown from a vehicle in a rollover crash in Audrain County on Friday evening, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.

The single-vehicle crash happened on Highway 22 just east of Highway 63 at the Boone-Audrain County line just before 5:30 p.m. Friday.

The report says a 2017 Dodge Journey, driven by a 32-year-old Shelbina woman, was headed west on Highway 22 and went off the roadway for an "unknown reason" at Route Y. The driver then overcorrected and lost control of the vehicle, causing it to roll over.

An 11-year-old Columbia boy and a 34-year-old Shelbina woman were thrown from the vehicle when it crashed, the report says. Both were taken to University Hospital by ambulance with serious injuries.

Another passenger, a 13-year-old Columbia girl, suffered moderate injuries and was brought to University Hospital by ambulance. No passengers were wearing seatbelts, according to the report.

The driver was reportedly wearing a seatbelt and was not hurt. The SUV had extensive damage.

An ABC 17 News photographer on scene saw an ambulance, a tow truck and several police vehicles.

MSHP said in a post on "X" Friday that multiple people were injured and the road was blocked. Drivers were asked to avoid the area.
