A large study by U.S. highway safety regulators found that more than half the people injured or killed in traffic crashes had one or more drugs or alcohol in their bloodstreams. Also, 54.4% the injured drivers had drugs or alcohol in their bloodstreams, with tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana, the most prevalent, followed by alcohol, the study by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration found.

Grundy County Route W is once again open to the traveling public following a bridge replacement project.
The Missouri Department of Transportation closed the Grundy County Route W bridge over Gees Creek in mid-Novmeber for replacement under the FARM (Fixing Access to Rural Missouri) Bridge Program.
The design-build team of Lehman-Wilson, working with Mo-Dot, was able to reopen the bridge Monday evening.
The full list of bridges to be replaced can be found on the FARM Bridge program web page.
