An accident Thursday around 3:45 p.m. left two youths with minor injuries east of Maryville. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2004 Pontiac driven by Dianne Dennis (41) of Maryville was eastbound on 136 just east of Maryville when she slowed to make a left turn and was struck in the rear by a 2008 Chevy Pickup driven by Oral Lewis of Ravenwood. Two youths in the Dennis vehicle, Nickki Owens (14) and Megan Owens (11) received minor injuries in the accident and were taken to St. Francis Hospital. Neither of the drivers was injured. All were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.
The accident occurred in an area where there are frequent left turns into the various plants and businesses along the road. The speed limit for that stretch is 45 miles per hour and is strictly enforced by the Highway Patrol.
