Driver held following rollover accident

A local woman suffered moderate injuries Monday night in a one-vehicle accident on Delta Trail two miles east of Skidmore.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Stephanie D. Parman, 35, Skidmore, was southbound in a 2005 Ford Focus when she lost control of the wheel and traveled off the east side of the roadway, causing the car to overturn and land on its roof.

Parman was not wearing a seat belt, the patrol report stated.

According to the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Office, who assisted in working the accident, Parman spent the night in jail on a 12-hour “detoxification hold.”

A patrol arrest report indicated several misdemeanor charges were pending against Parman, including driving while intoxicated, child endangerment, careless and imprudent driving resulting in an accident, and failure to wear a seat belt.

A spokesman for the patrol’s Troop H in St. Joseph confirmed that a child was a passenger in the car at the time of wreck. The child, who was not identified, was reportedly uninjured. No further details were available.

Parman declined medical treatment at the wreck site.

The Focus was totaled and towed to Walker’s Body Shop in Maryville.

Trooper J.D. Farmer was assisted at the scene by patrol Cpl. B.E. Maudlin.
