NODAWAY COUNTY —One person was injured in an accident just after 9:30a.m. Thursday in Nodaway County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2005 Peterbilt semi driven by Raymond A. Morris, 65, Guilford, was northbound on Route KK four miles northwest of Burlington Junction.

The  vehicle was traveling at a slow speed when the driver saw a deer in the road. The driver swerved to the right which caused his trailer to travel off the road. The trailer's load shifted and the vehicle overturned.

A private vehicle transported Morris to Mosaic in Maryville. He was not wearing a seat belt, according to the MSHP.
