Worth County Teen Killed in Car Accident

A Worth County teen was killed in a car accident Friday night 3 miles northwest of Allendale and another was seriously injured. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 1988 Chrysler LeBaron driven by Cody Schrock (17) of Grant City was northbound on Route Y at around 8:26 p.m. The driver lost control of the vehicle, traveled off the east side of the roadway, and overturned at least twice, ejecting both occupants from the passenger side. The vehicle came to rest on its top facing southeast off the east side of the roadway. Schrock was pronounced dead at 10:40 p.m. by Dr. Cherri Standing. He was taken to the Andrews Funeral Home in Grant City. A passenger, Justin Smith (17) of Grant City, was seriously injured and was taken by the Sheridan Ambulance to the Northwest Medical Center in Albany. Neither was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. The vehicle was totaled and was towed from the scene.
  
Funeral Services will be held Tuesday at 11:00 at the Assembly of God Church. There is a memorial set up at Andrews Funeral Home to help with funeral costs.
