Two people were injured, one of them seriously enough to be placed on a gurney and rolled into a waiting ambulance, in a two-car collision at approximately 12:30 p.m. Thursday on North Main about a mile from the Highway 71 intersection.

Maryville Public Safety worked the accident. Units were also dispatched from the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office, Missouri State Highway Patrol and Nodaway County Ambulance District.

An officer on the scene reported that the collision occurred as a champagne-colored Ford four-door compact either stopped or slowed while attempting to turn left into a driveway leading to the Nodaway Veterinary Clinic.

Before the turn was complete, the Ford was struck from behind by a white Lincoln sedan. Both vehicles were southbound.

The driver and a passenger in the small Ford were injured. The Lincoln’s driver was reportedly unhurt.

Names of those involved were not immediately available.
