ATV Wreck Kills One, Injures Two North of Stanberry

An ATV wreck killed one and seriously injured two other people north of Stanberry Sunday night. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2018 Polaris Ranger driven by Michael Shanks (23) of Stanberry was southbound on Route B four miles north of Stanberry at around 10:30 pm. The ATV drove off the east side and continued south, steered back onto the road, and struck a culvert. The ATV went airborne and returned to the roadway. Upon striking the ground, it overturned multiple times and all three occupants were ejected.

Adrian Warner (41) of St. Joseph was killed in the wreck and was taken to Roberson Funeral Home in Bethany. Shanks was seriously injured and taken to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph.
