2 injured after thrown from UTV near Missouri conservation area
COOPER CO., Mo. (KCTV) – A man and woman were injured after they were thrown from a UTV near a Missouri conservation area during an early-morning collision.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol indicates that around 2:15 a.m. on Saturday, July 6, emergency crews were called to the area of Conservation Dr. and Wildlife Rd., north of Otterville near the Lamine River Conservation Area, with reports of a single-vehicle collision.
When first responders arrived, they said they found a 2012 Polaris Ranger had been headed north on Conservation Dr. when it slid and veered off the road to the right.
Troopers said the UTV flipped and ejected both the driver, Chris M. Brauer, 51, of Tipton, Mo., and the passenger, Miranda L. Brauer, 45, also of Tipton. The Polaris hit two trees before it landed on its wheels facing north.
First responders noted that both Brauers were taken to University Hospital in Columbia, Chris with serious injuries and Miranda with moderate wounds. No further information has been released.
