1 seriously injured, 5 others treated after crash between pickups on Highway 50

KNOB NOSTER, Mo. (KCTV) – One woman is fighting for his life while five others were treated for their injuries following a collision between two pickups on a rural Missouri highway.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says that around 6:20 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 28, emergency crews were called to the area of Highway 50 and NE 651 Rd., between Warrensburg and Knob Noster, with reports of a 2-vehicle collision.

When first responders arrived, they said they found a 54-year-old Warrensburg man had been driving his 2001 Chevrolet Silverado east on the highway when he slowed and began to turn right.

As the pickup turned, investigators said it was hit by a 2018 Ram 1500 driven by a 62-year-old Cole Camp man. The impact caused the second pickup to veer off the roadway and crash into the ditch.

Emergency crews said a 26-year-old female passenger from Kansas City was taken to Western Missouri Medical Center with life-threatening injuries. The 54-year-old driver was taken to the same hospital with serious but non-life-threatening injuries.

State Troopers noted that a 29-year-old female passenger from Sedalia, a 48-year-old male passenger from Knob Noster, a 54-year-old female passenger from Cole Camp and the 62-year-old driver were all treated at Western Missouri Medical for suspected minor injuries.

Investigators indicated that everyone involved had been wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. No further information has been released.
