A passenger in the van, 29-year-old Samantha Driskell of Tarkio was transported by the Atchison-Holt Ambulance to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph with serious injuries.

Friday afternoon, 46-year-old Tammie Sanders of Skidmore, Missouri suffered serious injuries in a single-vehicle wreck 2.5 miles north of Maitland on Missouri Highway 13 in Holt County.
The Missouri Highway Patrol reported Sanders was northbound on MO-113 and traveled off the east side of the road, overcorrected, causing the Ford Explorer to skid out of control. The vehicle struck an embankment, went airborne and overturned, coming to rest on its top in a bean field.
Sanders who was not wearing a safety device at the time of the wreck was transported by Lifenet Air Ambulance to Mosaic Life Care in st. Joseph.
