Accident – Death – Obituary News :

Four individuals sustained injuries in a single-vehicle accident that took place on Interstate 29 on May 11 at around 3:30 p.m. The incident occurred near the 60.4-mile marker, approximately 10 miles north of Mound City.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the accident involved a 2008 Toyota Avalon driven by Karla R. Koontz, 58, from Mound City. The vehicle was travelling southbound in the left lane when the car in front suddenly braked. In an attempt to avoid a collision, Koontz changed lanes but lost control of the Toyota, causing it to hit the west side guardrail with the front right fender. The vehicle then crossed over to the east side of the road and came to a stop in the median facing southeast.

Koontz and three passengers, including an 80-year-old man identified as Fern K. Hamm from Mound City, as well as two juveniles from Branson aged 13 and 14, sustained minor injuries in the crash. It was reported that none of the occupants, except Hamm, were wearing seat belts at the time of the accident.

All injured individuals were taken to Mosaic St. Joseph Hospital for medical treatment. The Toyota Avalon suffered significant damage and was removed from the scene by Blue Knight.

The Andrew County Sheriff’s Department provided assistance at the accident site.
