(KAIR)--Speed is being blamed for a Thursday morning Buchanan County, Missouri crash, that left six Saint Joseph teens injured.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it happened on Southeast Barnett Road, near Southeast 32nd Road, when all six teens were traveling in a Honda Civic, eastbound on Barnett Road.
The Patrol reports the car, being driven at a high rate of speed by 17-year-old Hayden Ellison, crested a hilltop, went airborne, and traveled off the south side of the roadway.
Ellison overcorrected, sending the car off the north side of the roadway where it struck a tree and overturned, ejecting a 13-year-old passenger who was not buckled up.
The Patrol reports only one other teen in the car was not wearing a seatbelt.
Four of the teens, including the driver, suffered moderate injuries and were transported to Mosaic Life Care in Saint Joseph for treatment.
Two suffered minor injuries and refused treatment.
The Patrol says the crash happened around 8:20 Thursday morning.
