A Versailles man was arrested in Morgan County for DWI Sunday afternoon after driving his Silverado through two fields.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that 20-year-old Justin A. Dane of Versailles was northbound on Missouri 5, two-tenths of a mile south of the Route TT Junction just at 1:15 p.m. when the 2001 Chevy Silverado he was driving traveled off the east side of the roadway and drove through a field. The truck then crossed Route TT and drove through another field before coming to a stop.

Sane suffered moderate injuries, and was transported to Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach for treatment. He was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.

The Chevy had moderate damage and was driven from the scene.

Morgan County deputies assisted the Patrol.

Dane was later arrested at 1:57 p.m. and charged with driving while intoxicated, as well as careless and imprudent driving involving a crash.
