Two Marshall residents were injured in a two-vehicle traffic crash in Saline County on Friday.
According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred as a westbound vehicle, driven by 49-year-old Edelin Garcia, failed to yield while merging from a private drive onto the roadway and struck a northbound vehicle, driven by 31-year-old Morgan Renfrow, of Marshall.
While Renfrow was not injured, Garcia and a passenger in his vehicle- 36-year-old Walter Aguilar-Guzman- suffered serious and moderate injuries, respectively. They were transported by Saline County E.M.S. to Fitzgibbon Hospital in Marshall for treatment. Neither of the occupants in Garcia’s vehicle was wearing a seat belt.
