Two drivers and a passenger sustained injuries in an accident investigated Friday south of Trenton by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
According to Cpl. J.E. Hainey’s accident report, the accident occurred when the driver of a 2015 Ford Expedition, Rebecca Steinhoff of Spickard, was attempting to make a left turn from Highway 65 onto S.E. 20th St. As she attempted to make the turn, her vehicle was struck from behind by a 2014 Ford Focus, driven by Landon Ellis of Trenton. His vehicle came to rest facing east, while Mrs. Steinhoff’s vehicle came to rest, facing south in the roadway. Both were towed from the scene, with the Focus being totaled and the Expedition having extensive damage.
Ellis sustained moderate injuries and was transported by Grundy County EMS to Wright Memorial Hospital, while Mrs. Steinhoff and her passenger, a four-year-old male, sustained minor injuries and were taken by private vehicle to WMH. All three were reported to be using safety devices at the time of the accident.
Cpl. Hainey was assisted at the scene by Msgt. J.J. Rongey and the Grundy County Sheriff’s Department.
