Johnson County, MO (December 26, 2024) – A two-vehicle collision on eastbound US 50 at MO-AA resulted in injuries to two individuals, including a juvenile, on Monday afternoon, December 23. The crash occurred at approximately 12:09 p.m.
Authorities reported that a 2007 Ford Fusion, traveling westbound in the eastbound lanes of US 50, attempted to make a U-turn in the median. The Ford struck the driver’s side of a 2023 Chevrolet Silverado traveling eastbound, causing significant damage to both vehicles.
The driver of the Ford Fusion, a 72-year-old man from Colony, KS, sustained moderate injuries and was transported by ambulance to Western Missouri Medical Center. A 4-year-old boy, also in the Ford Fusion, suffered minor injuries and was transported to the same hospital for treatment.
The Chevrolet Silverado’s driver, a 24-year-old man from Otterville, MO, was not reported injured. Both vehicles were extensively damaged and had to be towed from the scene.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol, with assistance from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department, Fire Department, and Ambulance District, is continuing the investigation into the crash.
