Two are injured in a Wednesday afternoon car accident in Wilson County.
20-year-old Zachary Leiker of Pittsburg was driving a 2015 Ford F-150 southbound on US-400 about 7 miles north of Fredonia yesterday afternoon. Around 4pm, Leiker's truck crossed the center line and entered the northbound lane. A 2016 Chevy Malibu driven by 73-year-old Marian Rice of Arden, north Carolina, attempted to avoid a collision by veering onto the shoulder, but the two vehicles collided. Leiker was taken to Freeman Hospital in Joplin and Rice was transported to St. Francis in Tulsa. Both sustained serious injuries in the crash.
