A wreck between Ravenwood and Parnell knocked out power for 3½ hours Friday night and Saturday morning. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2013 Ford F-150 driven by James Meek (54) of Blockton was eastbound on 46 three miles north of Ravenwood at around 10:30 pm when he failed to negotiate a curve and traveled off the left side of the roadway, striking a utility pole. The pole fell and power lines were in the roadway, forcing the closure of 46 until electrical crews could arrive. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels on the left side of the roadway.
Meek received moderate injuries and was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the accident. He was taken to SSM St. Francis by Nodaway County EMS. The Ravenwood and Parnell Fire Departments were directing traffic and rerouting it. Power was knocked out as far east as Denver.
