Bates County, MO (January 18, 2025) – A serious accident on Interstate 49 left one driver with severe injuries on Wednesday afternoon, January 15. The crash occurred at approximately 12:17 p.m. near mile marker 124.8 in Bates County.
According to reports, the crash involved a 2016 Kia Forte and a 2016 Kenworth T680. The incident unfolded when the Kia struck the side of the Kenworth, prompting the driver of the Kia to overcorrect. The overcorrection caused the vehicle to run off the right side of the road and overturn.
The Kia Forte sustained total damage and was towed from the scene by Douty’s. Its driver, a 69-year-old man from Vienna, Virginia, suffered serious injuries in the crash. He was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the collision. Emergency responders called for a life flight to transport him to Research Medical Center for advanced medical care.
The driver of the Kenworth T680, a 34-year-old man from Adrian, Missouri, was not injured. His vehicle sustained only minor damage and was driven from the scene.
Authorities with the Bates County Sheriff’s Department and Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop A assisted at the scene. Investigations into the circumstances surrounding the crash are ongoing.
