Two people were injured Friday afternoon after a 2005 Toyota Tundra crashed on Interstate 44 in Phelps County, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The report says the truck was heading eastbound and went down the left side of the road. The driver – an 18-year-old woman from Hillsboro, Missouri – overcorrected, the report says. The truck rolled over and ejected the passenger, a 49-year-old man from De Soto, according to the report.

The man was airlifted to University Hospital with serious injuries, while the woman had moderate injuries and was brought to Phelps Health by ambulance, the report says. Neither person was wearing a seatbelt, according to the report.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
