A Cameron teen was injured seriously in a one-vehicle accident Wednesday afternoon on U.S. 36 Highway near Osborn, Missouri.

Joe Gardner, 18, was heading east on 36 Highway at about 3:15 p.m. when he went off the road and overcorrected, causing his car to overturn and come to a rest on its top, according to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Gardner, who the report said was not wearing a seat belt, was taken to Mosaic Life Care. A 17-year-old female passenger also was taken to Mosaic with minor injuries.
