A rollover crash on Fir Road near Joplin Street on the south side of Carl Junction, Missouri, was reported to E-911 at around 9 a.m. on Christmas morning.
The Carl Junction Fire department, along with the METS team and Jasper County Deputies, swiftly responded to the incident. Additionally, the Missouri State Highway Patrol was promptly notified.
At the scene, we are informed about a crash involving a single vehicle. The vehicle was traveling east on Fir Road when it veered off the road to the left, then overcorrected and went off the road to the right. It collided with a culvert and ended up overturning.
The CJ firefighters worked diligently to free an adult female driver who was trapped in the wreckage.
METS transported her to the hospital for non-emergency care after she sustained non-life-threatening injuries.
The weather was cloudy with fog in low-lying areas, but the roadway was dry and the temperature was 42°.
More information about the crash is expected later today as the Missouri State Highway Patrol continues their investigation.
