Three people were hurt, including two children, in a one vehicle traffic accident Saturday afternoon in Stoddard County. According to the MSHP, the accident happened on MO 51 south of Puxico when a pickup driven by 25 year old Kaelan Thompson of Puxico ran off the road, struck a ditch, and came to rest in a field.
Thompson received minor injuries as did the two children — ages four and six. They were all taken to a Poplar Bluff hospital.
