A failure to yield to traffic was listed as a cause of the collision.

ST. FRANCOIS COUNTY, MO – A two-vehicle collision Thursday afternoon near Farmington sent a 24-year-old man to the hospital, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The wreck was reported at 5159 Hillsboro Road, prompting an emergency response shortly after 12:18 p.m.

Officials say a 75-year-old Bonne Terre man was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Silverado northbound when he failed to yield for traffic on Hillsboro Road. Shortly after driving over a hill crest, the 24-year-old man, also of Bonne Terre, who was driving a 2010 Ford Transit Van, tried to avoid a crash with the Silverado by braking. The abrupt move caused the transit van to skid, and its front bumper collided with the front-end of the Silverado. The impact caused the transit van to skid and rotate clockwise before veering off the right side of the roadway. Similarly, the Silverado also skidded and spun clockwise before crossing the centerline and then traveling off the road’s left side.

As the transit van came to a stop facing north off the west side of Hillsboro Road, the Silverado came to rest off the east side of the road.

Emergency crews transported the 24-year-old to Parkland Hospital – Farmington for moderate injuries.

Both vehicles were totaled in the collision.
