CALDWELL COUNTY —Two people were injured in an accident just before 2p.m. Tuesday in Caldwell County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2012 Honda Odyssey driven by Shirley M. Perry, 27, Braymer, was southbound on Route A just before High Point Drive four miles south of Breckenridge.

The driver was distracted by a 1-year-old passenger. The driver overcorrected and the van traveled off the road over High Point Drive, became airborne, struck the ground and came to rest off the highway.

Caldwell County EMS transported Perry and the 1-year-old boy to Liberty Hospital. Both were properly restrained, according to the MSHP.
