Local Community Saddened by Loss of Centralia Basketball Player

A 17-year-old from Centralia is dead after a crash Wednesday night in Boone County.

Multiple social media accounts have said that Centralia High School student Hunter Hull passed away in the accident last night, including the Centralia High School Basketball team, who sent out their heartfelt condolences.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the teen collided with another vehicle near Highway 124 and Gano Chance Road around 9:45 p.m.

A 28-year-old Columbia woman driving an SUV tried to avoid the vehicle crashed into Hull’s car, causing the teen’s vehicle to overturn several times, ejecting him.

He was taken to University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

An 18-year-old passenger in the teen’s vehicle and the driver of the SUV were also sent to hospital with serious injuries.
