COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A man was injured Tuesday morning in a single-vehicle crash on Interstate 70 in Callaway County after a teenage driver fell asleep at the wheel, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The report says the crash occurred in the eastbound lane around the 153-mile marker. The 16-year-old from Liberty drove a 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe when he fell asleep, causing the vehicle to cross the median and overturn in the westbound lanes, the report says.

A 40-year-old man from Liberty had moderate injuries and was brought to University Hospital by ambulance, the report says. Both occupants in the vehicle wore seatbelts. The Hyundai was totaled.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
