Two hurt in pickup rollover
A teenager and an 8-year-old boy from Barnard were injured late Saturday in a one-vehicle accident on Route Y seven miles east of Fillmore in Andrew County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Cole W. Englebrecht, 17, was driving a 2013 Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck westbound shortly before 11 p.m. when he swerved to miss a deer and traveled off the left side of the road. The pickup struck a ditch, became airborne, and overturned, coming to rest on its wheels facing east.
Englebrecht, who was not wearing a seat belt, suffered serious injuries and was taken by helicopter ambulance to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph. His passenger, Cooper M. Englebrecht, 8, who was restrained inside the vehicle, suffered minor injuries and was taken to Mosaic Life Care by ambulance.
The pickup was totaled.
Trooper J.D. Maudlin was assisted at the scene by Trooper S.J. Force and the Andrew County Sheriff’s Office.
