Highway Patrol officers said snow caused two of five accidents Friday that sent five mid-Missourians to area hospitals.
All were treated and released and all five, as well as two others involved in two of the accidents who were not injured, were using seat belts.
• The Patrol said Chase B. Koelling, 16, of California, received moderate injuries when his 2003 Honda Civic was hit by a 2011 Ford Escape driven by Lillian B. Hentges, 66, of California.
Investigators said Koelling was westbound on U.S. 50 at 10:03 p.m. Friday, when Hentges attempted to cross the highway, southbound from Lookout Trail Drive, at the intersection east of Centertown.
Koelling was treated at St. Mary's Health Center, and Hentges was not reported as being injured.
• Marion L. Capehart, 28, of New Bloomfield, was treated at Capital Region Medical Center after a 9:15 p.m. one-vehicle accident on Callaway County Road 4038 (Mokane Road), a half-mile east of its intersection with County Road 4035 in the Missouri River bottoms east of the Jefferson City Memorial Airport.
The patrol said Capehart was westbound in a 1995 Ford F-150 when he swerved off the right side of the road and overturned.
• Zach A. Russo, 18, of Sunrise Beach, was treated at Lake Regional Hospital, Osage Beach, after an 8:50 p.m., nearly head-on collision on Rockdale Drive in Camden County, three miles west of Route F and south of Sunrise Beach.
Investigators said Russo was westbound in a 2000 Chevrolet Lumina, which crossed the center line and hit an eastbound 1999 Audi A-6, driven by Gregory V. Udulutch, 51, of Sunrise Beach.
Udulutch was not reported as injured.
• Sherri L. Huber, 49, of Macks Creek, received moderate injuries in a one-vehicle wreck about 1:30 p.m. Friday, when her northbound 1989 Ford Ranger began sliding on snow-covered Route U.
Troopers said she overcorrected, and the truck slid off the right side of the road and got stuck in a ditch.
The accident was three-tenths of a mile north of the Grapevine Road intersection, south of Macks Creek.
Huber was treated at Lake Regional Hospital.
• Michaela L. Stevens, 20, of Osage Beach, also was treated at and released from Lake Regional.
She was hurt about 8:50 a.m. Friday, when her 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix slid on snow-covered U.S. 54, three-tenths of a mile west of Route A in Camden County, north of Linn Creek.
Her car skidded into the median, struck a ditch and overturned.
