Two Injured in Accident at 169 and 46

There was an accident at the intersection of 169 and 46 Friday morning in Grant City. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2006 Chevy Truck driven by Jason Fitzgerald (38) of Lenox was eastbound, stopped at the stop sign on 46, while a 2010 Ford Taurus driven by Jillian Donovan (30) of Darlington was southbound on 169. The Patrol says Fitzgerald failed to observe the Taurus approaching the intersection and pulled into the path of the Taurus. The Taurus struck the Pickup on the front driver’s side. The Pickup began to rotate and slid across the roadway, coming to rest on its wheels in the northbound lane of 169. The Taurus crossed the center of the roadway and traveled off the left side of 169, coming to rest on its wheels off the left side of the roadway.

Fitzgerald received moderate injuries and was taken to Mount Ayr Hospital by Worth County EMS. He was not wearing a seat belt. Donovan received moderate injuries and was taken to Northwest Medical Center. She was wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident.
