(KLZA)-- 74-year old Ruth Beck of Rock Port was transported to the Fairfax Community Hospital Monday afternoon following a two-car wreck on US-59 Highway approximately three miles north of Fairfax.
Beck was northbound on US-59 when her car traveled off the right side of the road, she apparently overcorrected, crossed the centerline and her car struck the left rear of a southbound vehicle driven by 24-year old Katie Howell of Tarkio. Both cars came to rest on the east side of the highway.
Ruth Beck suffered what were described by the Missouri Highway Patrol report as minor injuries, Katie Howell was not injured in the wreck that occurred about 1:15 p-m.
Both vehicles suffered moderate damage. The Atchison-Holt Ambulance Squad transported Beck to the Fairfax hospital.
