Adrian, MO (June 4, 2025) – A serious crash involving a riding mower and a pickup truck left one woman injured Monday afternoon in Bates County. Reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol show the incident happened at about 2:02 p.m. on June 2 along County Road 1503, just north of County Road 9004.
According to authorities, a 17-year-old male from Adrian, Missouri, was driving a 1995 Ford F-150 southbound on County Road 1503. At the same time, a 58-year-old woman from Butler, Missouri, was operating a 2022 Faris Mower westbound into the roadway. The Ford collided with the mower, causing the mower to overturn and come to rest on the east side of the road facing eastbound. The Ford pickup came to rest in the roadway, facing southbound.
The woman, who was not wearing a safety device at the time of the crash, suffered moderate injuries and was transported by Bates EMS to Bates County Memorial Hospital. The juvenile driver of the Ford truck was reportedly uninjured and was properly restrained. The Faris Mower was totaled and left at the scene, while the Ford F-150 sustained extensive damage and was removed by Adrian Tow. Master Sergeant B.J. Hamerle, assisted by Corporal R.J. Hastings, is continuing the investigation.
We hope those injured in this accident recover quickly.
