Three Seriously Injured in Cole County Crash

Three people suffered serious injuries in a two-vehicle crash Tuesday afternoon on Highway 50 in Cole County near Centertown.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says a 68-year-old Mokane man was attempting to cross the westbound lanes at Lookout Trail when his Toyota Tacoma was struck by a westbound Nissan Altima.

The Nissan’s driver, a 24-year-old woman, and her 48-year-old passenger, both from California, Missouri, were taken to University Hospital.

The Mokane man was taken to Capital Region Medical Center.

All three were wearing seatbelts. Both vehicles were totaled.
