Warrensburg Man Injured After Jetta Hits Tree

A Warrensburg man was injured in a one-vehicle accident that occurred early Sunday morning in Johnson County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that an eastbound 2014 Volkswagen Jetta, driven by 22-year-old Steven R. Olvitt of Warrensburg, was on US 50, just east of NW 821st Road around 2:45 a.m., when the vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway. The driver overcorrected, and the Jetta ran off the right side of the roadway and struck a tree.

Olvitt suffered minor injuries and was transported to Western Missouri Medical Center.

The Jetta had extensive damage and was towed from the scene by Tip Top Towing.
