One person was taken to the Pershing Memorial Hospital in Brookfield after an accident Thursday afternoon five miles northwest of New Boston in Linn County.
Twenty-nine-year-old Daniel Bowerman of New Boston received minor injuries.

After impact, the van went off Route PP and struck a tree. The pickup and trailer belonged to the Missouri Department of Transportation and was driven by 27-year-old Amanda Slater of Brookfield. She wasn’t injured.
The report noted Slater was using a seat belt while Bowerman was not. The van was demolished while the pickup and trailer were listed with moderate damage.
