Advance men seriously injured in weekend accident

DEXTER, Mo. -- Two Advance men, 24-year-old Donald Brady and 27-year-old Louie Reyes, sustained serious injuries and were air evacuated from the scene following an early morning wreck Saturday. The accident occurred four miles south of Marquand on Route DD just after 2 a.m., according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Investigators were unsure which of the two men was driving the vehicle, which apparently ran off the roadway, struck a culvert, became airborne and then struck an embankment and overturned several times.

Neither occupant was wearing a safety device, the patrol reported.
