One Injured in Wreck Near Conception

One person was injured in a wreck near Conception Sunday afternoon at around 1:40 pm. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2002 Toyota Camry driven by Dennis McCue (70) of Stanberry and a 2001 Chevy Tahoe with a towed unit driven by Dean Wilmes (51) of Stanberry were eastbound on Route VV five miles west of Conception. The Camry stopped over a hillcrest for an animal, and proceeded to move. The second vehicle crested the hill, made an evasive maneuver to the north, and began to jackknife. The Tahoe’s rear passenger side struck the rear of the Camry. The Camry went off the south side and came to rest in a ditch. The Tahoe ran off the north side, back onto the roadway, and came to a controlled stop. A passenger in the Camry, Gwendolyn McCue, received minor injuries.
