A Goodland, Kan., woman was injured in a single-vehicle accident that happened on Interstate 49 just south of the Compton Junction exit about 3:30 Friday afternoon.
According to a report by Missouri State Highway Patrol Cpl. James Wilde, Linda Chaffin, 63, received minor injuries when the southbound 2000 Ford Freestyle SUV she was driving ran off the roadway and overturned, coming to rest in the median.
Firefighters used the Jaws of Life to open the top of Chaffin's SUV to free her from the vehicle. She was transported to the Nevada Regional Medical Center by the Vernon County Ambulance District.
