Three people are injured in a single-vehicle crash north of Fort Scott.

The accident occurred around 2:30 on Friday afternoon on US-69 at the intersection of K-31. A 2006 Chevy Silverado driven by 34-year-old Lawrence Magathan of Fort Scott was traveling northbound on Highway 69 when the driver side rear wheel began to detach. This caused the truck to veer onto the center median. Magathan then overcorrected back onto the roadway causing the truck to roll. The Silverado rolled across the northbound lanes of traffic and onto a grass embankment where it came to rest on the passenger side.

Magathan and two minor children in the vehicle were all wearing seat belts and received only minor injuries in the accident. All three were taken to Freeman Hospital in Joplin for treatment.
