Richmond Woman Hurt In Sunday Pickup Wreck

A Richmond woman was left with minor injuries after the pickup truck she was riding in crashed Sunday afternoon in Ray County.

Troop A of the Highway Patrol says 59-year-old Rayville resident James F. Farris was driving a 2002 Ford Ranger southbound on Rya County Route C north of 130th Street at 2:40 P.M. Sunday when he traveled too fast into a curve and lost control of his truck.

The truck went off the right side of the roadway and overturned onto its passenger side.

Farris was wearing a seat belt and escaped injury. His passenger, 65-year-old Richmond resident Joyce J. Lackey, was also wearing a seat belt but suffered minor injuries. She was taken by ambulance to Liberty Hospital for treatment.
