(KLZA)-- A Forest City, Missouri woman suffered minor injuries Wednesday afternoon when an electrical pole struck her car while she was sitting in a private driveway.

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol report 46-year-old Jason Bierman of Mound City was southbound on Missouri Highway 111 at East Richardson Street in Forest City, driving a John Deer tractor, pulling a field cultivator. The cultivator struck an overhanging line and as the tractor continued south for several hundred yards, multiple electric poles were damaged. MSC News also learned that some electrical services were pulled off of houses.

One of the electric poles struck the 2015 Kia Soul operated by 67-year-old Karen Stone as she was sitting in a private driveway.

Stone was transported by private vehicle to the St. Francis Hospital in Maryville, Missouri with what were described as minor injuries. Her car sustained extensive damage.

There was only minor damage to the tractor and equipment and Biermann was not injured.

The Holt County Sheriff’s Office and Holt County Volunteer Fire Department also responded to the wreck.
