Two Helena residents suffered injuries in an accident this morning in Gentry County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred around 7:08 this morning at Pomeroy Street, east of Mill Street in Darlington, as a vehicle driven by 86-year-old Charles H. Ochse headed eastbound.

Authorities say Ochse failed to stop at a stop sign, traveled off the east side of the road, and came to a rest.

Ochse and a passenger, 85-year-old Lois P. Ochse, suffered minor injuries and sought treatment at Mosaic in Albany.

Troopers say all involved wore seat belts at the time of the accident.
