Three persons received injuries in two separate area accidents investigated over the weekend by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Two of the injuries were in a one-vehicle accident on Highway 65, eight miles south of Trenton, on Saturday afternoon. The patrol said Dennis Hess, 68 and Rebecca Hess, 73, both of Grants Pass, OR were injured when the SUV driven by Dennis Hess was southbound and struck a deer. Dennis Hess was treated at the scene while Mrs. Hess was transported by private vehicle to Wright Memorial Hospital in Trenton. The vehicle received extensive damage. Both persons were wearing a seat belt.
The accident was investigated by Trooper K.J. Cool, who was assisted by Trooper B.N. Rainey.
The second accident occurred on Sunday morning on Route V, six miles south of Jamesport in Daviess County.
The patrol said a car driven by 19-year-old Dariyn Pettit of Gallatin was eastbound on Route V when it swerved to miss a deer in the road. As the driver overcorrected, the car went off the south side of the road and overturned, coming to rest on the driver’s side.
Ms. Pettit was taken by LifeFlight Eagle to Truman Medical Center in Kansas City for treatment. The vehicle received extensive damage. Ms. Pettit was wearing a seat belt.
The accident was investigated by Cpl. M.J. Miller, assisted by the Daviess County Sheriff’s Office and Daviess County EMS.
