TUSCUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — A 2-day-old baby was the only survivor of a car accident in south-central Missouri that killed his parents and 3-year-old brother.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident Tuesday afternoon on Highway 52 near Tuscumbia killed 36-year-old Marty Wilcox, 27-year-old Elisa Wilcox and their 3-year-old son, all of Eldon. The 2-day-old son suffered moderate injuries.
