Two residents of Raytown were injured last night in an accident in Livingston County, one mile west of Chillicothe.
The highway patrol listed injuries as minor for 35-year-old Douglas Markussen and for 30-year-old Nicole Lockler who were both transported by emergency services to the Hedrick Medical Center in Chillicothe.
A westbound car driven by Markussen swerved to avoid a deer on Highway 36 causing the car to travel off the north side of the road where it struck a ditch and overturned coming to rest on the passenger side.
The car was demolished in the 9:50 pm Sunday night accident and both occupants were using seat belts.
