Six people were injured in a two-vehicle accident that occurred late Saturday night in Pettis County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, an eastbound 2003 Ford Mustang, driven by 19-year-old Chantz D. Wheeler of Sedalia, attempted to cross US 65 and Trickum Road sometime after 11 p.m., and traveled into the path of a southbound 2005 Buick LeSabre, driven by 54-year-old Kennith C. Howery of Windsor.
The LeSabre struck the left rear of the Mustang. Both vehicles ended up in the median.
