Mo. woman, 7-year-old injured after car strikes culvert

CLINTON COUNTY —Two people were injured in an accident just before 10a.m. Sunday in Clinton County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol  reported a 1997 Buick LeSabre driven by a 57-year-old Lathrop woman was southbound on MO 33 just south of SE Hilltop Road two miles north of Holt.

The car traveled off the road to avoid a northbound vehicle that had traveled into the path of the Buick.  The Buick struck a road reflector sign and a concrete culvert.

A private vehicle transported the driver and a 7-year-old female passenger to Liberty Hospital. Both were properly restrained, according to the MSHP. The Patrol no longer releases names of accident victims.
