JEFFERSON CITY — A 16-year-old Ste. Genevieve boy suffered serious injuries in a traffic crash on Route EE in St. Francois County Sunday night.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports the youth, whose name was not released, was taken to Children’s Hospital in St. Louis by a St. Francois County ambulance.
The patrol says the crash happened when the northbound 2001 Ford F 150 the youth was driving ran off the road, struck a tree and overturned.
The crash happened about 10:45 p.m. at Turley Mill Road.
The patrol says it couldn’t determine whether the boy was buckled up or not.
The F 150 was a total loss and was removed by Buckleys.
