A Washington juvenile, 16, was traveling west on Old Highway 50 when he failed to negotiate a curve and ran off the right side of the roadway. The teenager then lost control of the vehicle and crossed U.S. Highway 50 traveling south, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
At the same time, Steven Brueggenjohann, 41, of Marthasville, was traveling east on U.S. 50 in a 2019 Peterbilt 567 and struck the right side of the juvenile's vehicle when he unexpectedly crossed the roadway, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Both vehicles ended up in a ditch on the north side of the road.
The juvenile sustained serious injuries in the accident and was transported to Mercy St. Louis Hospital by the Union Ambulance District. Brueggenjohann did not report any injuries.
