Eighteen year old Joshua Allen was taken to Pershing Memorial Hospital in Brookfield with what the Highway Patrol called minor injuries.

The investigating officer said the car was northbound on Highway 5 in Linneus, failed to negotiate a curve, hit a utility pole, and overturned, coming to rest on the road. The vehicle was demolished. The Patrol said Allen was not wearing a seat belt.
