GRUNDY COUNTY—One person was injured in an accident just after 7p.m. Friday in Grundy County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2019 Chevy pickup driven by Tiffany D. Gathercole, 45, Trenton, was northbound on U.S. 65 five miles north of Trenton.

The driver slowed to make a right turn onto Mica Lane and noticed a semi not slowing behind her. The car traveled into a culvert while making the turn. The front passenger side of the pickup struck the culvert. The pickup then traveled up to a residence a short distance from the accident.

A private vehicle transported a 4-year-old female passenger in the pickup to Wright Memorial Hospital. Gathercole was not injured. Both were properly restrained, according to the MSHP.
