As reported on The Marshall Democrat-News Web site Saturday, an 18-year-old Grand Pass man and a 56-year-old Blackburn man suffered moderate injuries early Friday, April 11, after their vehicles collided nearly head-on, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Mackenzie B. Thorp of Grand Pass was traveling south on Route BB in Saline County, about one mile south of County Road 422, when his vehicle apparently crossed the center line and collided with a northbound vehicle driven by Ronald L. Tieman of Blackburn, according to the report.

Both men were taken to Fitzgibbon Hospital in Marshall by Sweet Springs ambulance.

Thorp was wearing a safety belt, but Tieman was not, according to troopers.

Thorp was issued a summons for careless and imprudent driving, troopers said.

I am sorry but this comment really bothers me. What do you mean by this. Have you ever drove on BB. It is not a very good road. I am from this area and have drove this road many times on my way to school and it is not a hard thing to do to cross the center line on this road as it has alot of sharp curves and alot of s curves. And another thing Santa Fe drivers do not have alot of accidents that I have seen or heard of I went to school there all 12 years and I think we only had one major accident involving a student and a few minor accidents. It is not just "Santa Fe drivers"
