Two 17-year-old boys were seriously injured in a one-car crash on Cape Girardeau County Road 205, one mile south of town.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, driver Adam Cloninger, of Advance, was driving his 1986 Chevrolet northbound on the roadway when he lost control of the vehicle on a curve, slid off the left side of the road and then struck a tree.
Cloninger and his passenger, Gregory Bugg, of Puxico, were transported by ambulance to St. Francis Hospital. Both were listed as being in stable condition late Friday.
