A teenager from southwest Iowa was injured late Thursday night during a crash in west central Missouri. The Missouri Highway Patrol reports 16-year old Chance Cade, from Clarinda, was hurt when the 2006 Kia Sorrento he was driving went out of control and rolled several times just before midnight. The accident happened in Caldwell County, Missouri.

Officials say the SUV Cade was driving was east bound on Missouri Highway 116, about a mile west of Braymer, when he met an unknown westbound vehicle that had drifted into his lane. The teen tried to avoid contact with the other vehicle, and in the process his car left the road. Cade over-corrected, causing the vehicle to go into a skid before it left the road and entered a ditch before rolling over and coming to rest on its wheels. The other vehicle didn’t stop.

Chance Cade suffered serious injuries when he was ejected from the vehicle. A passenger in the car, 20-year-old Garland J. Nelson of Braymer, was also injured, and indicated he would seek medical attention on his own.
