Two men were seriously injured in a Monday morning crash on Highway 63 in Phelps County, about three miles south of Edgar Springs, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report.

The report says a 2018 Ford Focus – driven by an 18-year-old Plattsburgh, New York – was heading southbound when it crossed the center line and hit a 2004 Chevrolet Silverado head-on. The Chevrolet was driven by a 48-year-old man from West Plains, Missouri, according to the report.

The New York man wore a seatbelt, while the West Plains man did not, the report says. The driver from New York was flown to Cox Hospital in Springfield, while the West Plains man was flown to University Hospital in Columbia, according to the report.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
