January 26, 2011

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop B, an accident occurred in Chariton County on Route M, half a mile South of Triplett on January 25th at 1:05PM.

Chelsey George, 16, of Triplett, MO was driving a 2006 Pontiac too fast for weather conditions which caused her to lose control of her vehicle. She crossed the center line and traveled into the path of a 1997 Chevrolet, driven by Leslie Arp, 51, of Brunswick, MO. Arp sustained minor injuries and George sustained moderate injuries. Both were transported by Chariton County Ambulance to Fitzgibbons Hospital in Marshall, MO.

When driving on snowy or icy roads it is important to go slow, keep your headlights on, and try to avoid using your brakes.
