Two 17-year-old Joplin boys are injured in a single vehicle accident south of Columbus.

The accident occurred around 3:30 on Saturday afternoon as the two were traveling westbound on Beasley Road about 2 miles west of US-69 or about 6 miles south of Columbus. The driver lost control of his 2002 Honda Civic due to the wet road conditions, left the roadway and struck a tree.

Both teens received minor injuries and were taken to a Joplin hospital for treatment.
