Polo, MO (March 15, 2022) – A crash that occurred in Clinton County sent two people to area hospitals with injuries. At around 5:44 a.m., on March 10, emergency crews were notified that their assistance was needed on-site at a motor vehicle accident on Missouri State Highway 119.
Reports from authorities show that a 2020 Ford F-150 pickup truck was traveling west on Highway 116 when it became involved in an accident with a 2000 Subaru Outback.
Two people involved in the accident were injured. EMS transported 45-year-old Donald Jeffers and 47-year-old Brady Kerste to Liberty Hospital for medical care.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with Brady Kerste and Donald Jeffers at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
