A Fenton woman was injured in a two-vehicle traffic accident Thursday (March 1) on Hwy. MM in House Springs.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported that Mary Martin, 57, of Fenton was driving a 1995 Ford Escort west on Hwy. MM at Town and Country Lane at 4:25 p.m. when she failed to notice that a 2012 Ford F-250 driven by James Schmaltz, 46, of Pacific was stopped ahead of her. The front of the Escort struck the rear of the pickup, the report said.
The report made no mention of an injury to Schmaltz, but Martin sustained moderate injuries and was taken by Big River Ambulance to SSM Health St. Clare Hospital in Fenton, the report said.
An update on her condition was not available.
Schmaltz was wearing a seat belt but Martin was not, the report said. The Escort was totaled and the F-250 had moderate damage.
