(KLZA)--A head-on crash Friday evening in northwest Missouri left a Auburn, Nebraska couple seriously injured.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it happened on U.S. 136, just west of Rock Port.

The Patrol says a westbound Dodge Ram pickup driven by 26-year-old Dalton Hart, of Tarkio, was attempting to make a left turn into a private drive when a eastbound 1938 Chevy car driven by 50-year-old Kenneth Holmes began to skid. The Patrol says  Hart turned into the path of the car and the vehicles collided head-on.

Holmes and a passenger in his car, 44-year-old Stephanie Holmes, were both taken by ambulance to Community Hospital in Fairfax.  The couple were later taken by air ambulance to the University of Nebraska Medical Center in Omaha.

Hart was not injured.

The wreck was reported just after 6:30 Friday evening.
