A Kirksville resident was hurt Saturday evening when a car went off a road and hit a fence west of Kirksville.

Thirty-six-year-old Ann Stafford was taken by private vehicle to Northeast Regional Medical Center in Kirksville with minor injuries.

Stafford was a passenger in a car driven by 32-year-old Dustin Shelton of Kirksville who was not reported as receiving any injuries.

The accident happened on Michigan Trail approximately one-half mile west of Kirksville as the westbound car went off the left side of the road striking a fence.

There was moderate damage to the vehicle and the patrol report indicated neither occupant was wearing a seat belt.

The patrol accused Dustin Shelton of driving while intoxicated resulting in physical injury, and driving while intoxicated with an individual less than 17 years old in the vehicle.

Shelton was transported to the Adair County Jail where he was later released.
