E Pleasant Hill, MO (April 1, 2024) – Emergency crews were requested at the scene of an automobile accident that occurred in Cass County and ended in injuries. The incident took place at around 10:40 a.m. on March 30.
According to official reports, a 2020 Chevrolet Malibu was traveling south on Highway E when the vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway after the driver overcorrected.
