Reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol show that a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee was involved in an accident on Farm Road 26 just five miles south of Pleasant Hope. The crash caused delays in the area as emergency crews worked to clear the scene.
EMS tended to a 1-year-old male at the scene before transporting him to Cox North Hospital for care. Two other victims, 24-year-old Elijah Cloud and 78-year-old Judith Cloud, were both transported to Cox North Springfield for care.

Our thoughts are with Elijah Cloud, Judith Cloud, and the child injured in this accident.
