(KNZA)- A two-vehicle wreck about 4 miles north of Faucett, Missouri Thursday afternoon sent one to the hospital.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it happened shortly before 4:30 at the intersection of Routes A and H.
The Patrol says 55-year-old Grandview, Missouri resident Robert Clark was westbound on Route H when he turned north onto Route A and into the path of a northbound semi tractor-trailer driven by 53-year-old Kenneth Hecker, of Wathena.
Both drivers attempted to avoid each other, but Hecker struck the left side of Clark’s Dodge Charger, which traveled off the roadway and through a fence.
The semi also traveled off the roadway, coming to rest in a field.
Clark, who was wearing a seatbelt, was transported by ambulance to Mosaic Lifecare in St. Joseph with what the Patrol described as serious injuries.
Hecker was not hurt.
