Teenager dead in Centralia crash

A 17-year-old male is dead after a two-vehicle crash Wednesday night in Boone County. The crash happened at about 9:45 p.m. on Missouri Route 124 at Gano Chance Road, near Centralia. An 18-year-old man from Centralia and a 28-year-old woman from Columbia were also seriously injured in the collision. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol’s online crash report, the 17-year-old driver failed to stop at a stop sign. Investigators say the woman attempted to avoid the teen’s vehicle, crossed the center line, and struck the rear of his car. The impact caused the teen’s vehicle to overturn multiple times. The 17-year-old was ejected from the car and later died at University Hospital. The two others were transported to the hospital with serious injuries.
