Intersection crash leaves one moderately injured in Monroe County Missouri
The crash occurred on September 13th, 2024, at 8:15 AM at Highway M and Highway C, approximately 8 miles southwest of Paris, Missouri. 55-year-old Randy S. Myers was driving a 2017 Ford F150 eastbound. At the same time, 19-year-old Ahna I. Sinclair was driving southbound in a 2006 Subaru when they failed to stop at the intersection. This caused the Subaru to impact with the driver’s side of the Ford F150.

The Ford F150 was extensively damaged and towed by Prathers Towing – Cairo. The Subaru was totaled and left at the scene to be removed by the owner.
