Beggs Injured in Car-Tractor Accident

Mark Beggs of Guilford was injured in a car-tractor accident on Route 71 3 miles south of Route U Friday. The Missouri Highway Patrol reports that a 2010 Chevy Malibu driven by Keenan Joiner of Maryville was northbound and struck a 1953 International Tractor driven by Beggs in the rear. The Malibu continued north and drove off the west side of the road where it came to rest in the median on its wheels facing north. The International traveled off the east side of the road onto the shoulder facing south on its wheels. Beggs received moderate injuries and was transported by Nodaway County Ambulance to St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. Neither Joiner nor three passengers, Colton Mattson, Adam Thompson, or Chris Winans, were injured in the accident.
