Excelsior Springs Teen Hurt When Run Off The Road By Semi

An Excelsior Springs teen was left with minor injuries after her vehicle was run off the interstate by a semi truck.

According to the Highway Patrol accident report, 18-year-old Excelsior Springs resident Alexa M. Patrick was driving a 2007 Mercury Milan northbound in the left lane of I-35 about four miles south of Cameron at 12:44 P.M. Thursday when an unknown tractor-trailer merged into her lane.

That action forced Patrick’s vehicle off the left side of the roadway and into the median, where it came to rest on its wheels.

Patrick was wearing a seat belt but suffered minor injuries. She was taken by Cameron Ambulance to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph for treatment.
