(KNZA)---A single-vehicle wreck on a northwest Missouri road late Wednesday night claimed the life of a St. Joseph teen, and left another teen with serious injuries.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck on an Andrew County road about a ½ mile southwest of Savannah was 16-year-old Darren Richardson.
The Patrol says Richardson was westbound on County Road 366 when he lost control of his car, which started to skid. Richardson overcorrected and his vehicle left the road where it struck a tree shortly before 11:30.
Richardson was pronounced dead at the scene. A passenger, 16-year-old Savannah resident McKenzie Ishmael, was taken by ambulance to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph with serious injuries.
The Patrol says neither occupant was wearing a seat belt.
