An accident in Daviess County Wednesday afternoon sent a Jamesport teen to the hospital.
The Highway Patrol reports the crash happened two miles south of Jamesport on State Highway 190 at 4:42 pm. A 2019 Chevrolet Silverado, driven by a 74-year-old man from Chillicothe, was headed north when he attempted to avoid an Amish buggy that was also traveling northbound. The truck struck the rear driver’s side of the buggy.
The buggy, driven by a 15-year-old Jamesport boy, overturned and the juvenile was ejected into the ditch along the east side of the roadway. He was taken by Daviess County EMS to Children’s Mercy Hospital in Kansas City with injuries.
The driver of the truck was not reported injured.
