A Marshall woman suffered moderate injuries Saturday, June 27, in a one-vehicle crash in Pettis County, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report.

Tiffany Mullins, 25, was taken to Bothwell Hospital in Sedalia after the crash, which occurred about 8:24 p.m. on U.S. Highway 65 south of Wildwood, troopers said.

Mullins was driving a 1998 Ford southbound when it apparently began to hydroplane, rotated clockwise, went off the right side of the road, struck an embankment and overturned, according to the MSHP report.

Two passengers, Patti A. Davis, 47, of Lake Ozark, and Kyle R. Sloan, 23, of Lake Ozark, suffered minor injuries. Davis was taken to Bothwell Hospital and Sloan declined treatment at the scene, troopers said.

Davis was wearing a safety belt. Mullins and Sloan were not, troopers said.

The investigation continues.
