Drivers suffer serious injuries in crash east of Columbia

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two Columbia drivers had serious injuries after one turned in front of the other early Thursday on Route WW at El Chaparral Avenue.

The crash happened shortly before 7 a.m. when a car driven by Victoria Swearengin, 33, turned left in front of a cargo van that was coming from the opposite direction, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report.

Swearengin and the van driver, Matthew Amburgey, 21, were taken to University Hospital by Boone County ambulance. Neither one was wearing a seat belt, the report says. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
