Juveniles injured in Wednesday wreck

(KLZA)-- Two juveniles were injured in a two-vehicle wreck about 7:30 Wednesday morning in Atchison County, Missouri at the intersection of Missouri Highway 46 and U.S. Highway 59 in Fairfax.

The Missouri Highway Patrol report indicates a John Deer motor grader operated by 33-year-old Jake Harbin of Tarkio was westbound on M-46 and a half-ton Chevy pickup was traveling south on US-59.

The pickup, driven by 34-year-old Cody Stoner of Fairfax allegedly failed to stop at the STOP sign and the front end of the grader struck the front end of the pickup, both coming to a stop, upright in the roadway.

Two juveniles, a 7-year-old male and an 8-year-old female, riding in the pickup were transported to the Fairfax Community Hospital by the Atchison – Holt EMS for treatment of moderate injuries.

The pickup was totaled with the grader sustaining only minor damage.

The Atchison County Sheriff's Department and the Fairfax Fire and First Responders assisted at the scene of the wreck.
