On March 18, 2008 Jake Vogel, 18 of Catawissa, Missouri and his 18 year old passenger, Charles Nine of Pacific, Missouri, were driving a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse while traveling Southbound on Route F. At the same time, Brittany Morgan, 16, of Pacific, Missouri was driving a 1992 Honda Accord Northbound on Route F, when according to investigators, Vogel was driving too fast for weather conditions and crossed the solid yellow line, traveled into the Northbound lane, and struck the front of Morgan's vehicle.
All three teens were transported to St. Johns Hospital in Washington, Missouri. Vogel and Nine were listed as sustaining "minor injuries," while Morgan suffered "moderate personal injuries." All teens were treated and released. No traffic citations were issued.
