A La Monte woman sustained moderate injuries in a single-vehicle accident at 7 p.m. Monday in Pettis County.
According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report, Sandra M. Boals, 52, was driving south on state Route 127, south of Crystal Springs Road, when she swerved to miss a vehicle that was traveling on the wrong side of the road. Boals then over-corrected, causing the vehicle to cross the center line and travel off the left side of the road where it struck a ditch, overturned and struck a utility pole.
Boals, who was wearing a seat belt, was taken by Pettis County Ambulance District to Bothwell Regional Health Center for her injuries.
Information is taken from preliminary Missouri State Highway Patrol and Sedalia Police Department reports, which do not necessarily contain statements from all parties involved.
