An 18-year-old boy from Richmond, Missouri, sustained serious injuries in a single-vehicle accident on Southwest Austin Drive, three miles southwest of Mirabile, Missouri, on September 22, 2024, at approximately 2:20 a.m.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 15-year-old female from Lathrop was driving a 2000 Chevrolet S10 eastbound when she lost control of the vehicle, which was traveling too fast for the road conditions.

Gabriel J. Baker, 18, a passenger in the vehicle, was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash and sustained serious injuries. He was transported by a private vehicle to Cameron Regional Medical Center for treatment.
The Chevrolet S10 sustained moderate damage and was towed from the scene by Tate’s Towing of Polo.
