(KLZA)-- Two people were hospitalized following two wrecks in northwest Missouri on Tuesday.

Tuesday morning just before 11, 70-year-old Miles Ruch of Craig, Missouri suffered what were described as moderate injuries when the pickup he was driving east on U.S. Highway 36 approximately two miles east of St. Joseph traveled off the roadway, into the median and skidded across the westbound lanes before going down an embankment and overturning, coming to rest on its top.

Ruch was transported by the Buchanan County EMS to Mosaic Life Care Hospital in St. Joseph.

About 8:40 Tuesday evening a car driven by 24-year-old Sara Skalberg of Shenandoah, Iowa attempted to merge to the driving lane shoulder in the northbound lane of Interstate 29 and struck the trailer of a semi-truck operated by 28-year-old Harpreet Singh of Fresno, California.

Both vehicles skidded to the driving lane shoulder coming to rest facing south.

Skalberg was transported by the Atchison-Holt Ambulance District to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph with serious injures. She was not wearing a safety device at the time of the wreck.

The wreck occurred approximately 13 miles south of Mound City.
