(KNZA)--An early Saturday afternoon single-vehicle wreck in northwest Missouri sent a Hiawatha girl to the hospital.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports 57-year-old Lori Nigus, of Hiawatha, was eastbound on U.S. 36 Highway at Stewartsville in Dekalb County when her Ford Escape travelled off the roadway, struck an embankment and road sign. The vehicle travelled across the crossover and into the median.

A 7-year-old girl, who was passenger in the vehicle, was transported by ambulance to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, for the treatment of suspected minor injuries.

Nigus was not hurt.

The Patrol says both occupants were properly restrained when the wreck occurred shortly after 12:30 Saturday afternoon.
