Napoleon, MO (April 8, 2024) – Emergency crews were requested at the scene of a motor vehicle accident that occurred in Lafayette County and sent one person to a local hospital with injuries. The accident occurred at around 1:35 p.m. on April 7.
According to official reports, the driver of a 2015 Ford F150 failed to yield the right-of-way at the intersection of Highway 24 and Highway D. As a result, the vehicle collided with a 2003 Doolittle trailer. A 2014 Ford F150 pickup truck was also involved in the accident. The Doolittle and the 2015 Ford had to be towed from the scene of the crash. One person involved in the accident was injured.
