The Highway Patrol reports a Cameron man sustained serious injuries when his vehicle overturned on Missouri 6 one mile east of Altamont in the early morning hours of Saturday around 2:00 am.

Twenty-three-year-old Joshua Detherage traveled west when his pickup truck went off the north side of the road, he then overcorrected, crossed the road, traveled off the south side of the road, and struck a tree before the truck overturned. The vehicle came to a rest on its passenger side off the south side of the road and was totaled.

An ambulance transported Detherage to Altamont before Life Flight airlifted him to Liberty Hospital.

The Patrol reports he did not wear a seatbelt at the time of the accident.

The Daviess County Sheriff’s Department and Kaw Fire Department of Kidder assisted.
