Warrensburg, MO (February 24, 2025) – A motor vehicle crash on Missouri Highway 58 left five juveniles injured on Saturday afternoon, February 23. The accident happened in the 1080 block of SW MO-58 at approximately 3:22 p.m.
According to reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 17-year-old male driver was traveling eastbound on the highway when he entered an S-curve. The vehicle, a 2005 Ford Escape, began sliding as the rear tires lost traction. The driver attempted to correct the slide but overcorrected, causing the SUV to veer off the right side of the road. The vehicle then crashed into a ditch and overturned.
Four passengers, aged 9, 11, 13, and 15, suffered moderate injuries in the crash. The 17-year-old driver sustained minor injuries. All five juveniles were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident. Emergency medical personnel from Johnson County Ambulance District transported the injured victims to Western Missouri Medical Center for treatment.
The vehicle sustained total damage and was towed from the scene by Warrensburg Tow. Authorities from the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene.
We hope those injured in this accident recover rapidly.
