Two Injured in Grant City Accident

Two people were injured in a two-car accident Tuesday (October 30th) afternoon in Grant City at 46 and Front Street. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 1998 GMC Sonoma driven by Winfield Bowen, 90, of Mount Ayr, was attempting to turn south on Front Street from 46. The Sonoma turned into the path of a 1989 Oldsmobile Regency driven by Philip Hanks, 37, of Grant City. The Hanks vehicle struck the Bowen vehicle in the passenger side. The Hanks vehicle came to rest on its wheels on 46. The Bowen vehicle was pushed off the south side of the roadway and came to rest in the grass. Hanks received moderate injuries and was taken to the Northwest Medical Center in Albany. Bowen received minor injuries and refused medical treatment at the scene. Neither person was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. The Bowen vehicle received extensive damage and was driven to a local garage and will be towed at a later date. The Hanks vehicle was totaled and taken to Don's Body Shop of Parnell.
