JEFFERSON CITY — A 16-year-old Ste. Genevieve male suffered moderate injuries in a traffic crash Friday evening on Route V east of Highway 61.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the youth was taken to Mercy Hospital St. Louis on an Air Evac helicopter.
The patrol report says he was the driver of a westbound or eastbound 2014 Ford Mustang when he swerved to the right, then over-corrected to the left and traveled off the left side of the roadway and overturned onto the driver’s side.
The patrol says the driver was unrestrained.
The crash happened about 7:04 p.m.
The Mustang was a total loss.
