A traffic collision on Maywood Road about 1.5 miles north of Forest City, Missouri, resulted in injuries to two drivers on Tuesday, April 17, 2024.
At approximately 12:17 p.m., a 2018 GMC FedEx truck, driven by 29-year-old Luz M. Silva of St. Joseph, Missouri, was involved in an accident with a 2015 GMC Sierra, driven by 33-year-old Ethan W. Woolsey of Forest City, Missouri.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the FedEx truck was traveling north when it crossed into the southbound lane, directly into the path of the Sierra. Woolsey attempted to avoid the collision by steering off the north side of the road, but the vehicles made contact, causing extensive damage to the FedEx truck and minor damage to the Sierra.
Silva sustained minor injuries and was transported by Atchison-Holt Emergency Medical Services to Mosaic in St. Joseph for treatment. Both drivers were reportedly wearing their seat belts at the time of the accident. The FedEx truck was towed from the scene by Double-D Towing, while Woolsey was able to drive his Sierra away from the location.
The Holt County Sheriff’s Department assisted the Missouri State Highway Patrol at the scene.
