Two area men suffered moderate injury after their vehicles collided east of Marshall on Monday, Dec. 1.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash occurred around 1:20 p.m. on Route 41, a mile southeast of the split with Route 240. Troopers say that an SUV driven by a 72-year-old Slater man had gone off the roadway. The driver overcorrected, causing it to return to the roadway and strike another SUV driven by a 48-year-old man from Marshall. The Slater driver was taken by ambulance to a Columbia hospital, while the Marshall driver was treated at Fitzgibbon. Both men were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash, according to troopers.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports responding to 358 crashes as of 6 p.m. Monday, including 41 with injury. At present, the only reported fatality from Monday’s winter storm occurred in northwestern Cole County, after a one-vehicle crash on Route 179 claimed the life of a 21-year-old man from Jamestown.
