Two Vandalia teens injured in Ralls County traffic crash

The running of a stop sign at an intersection in Ralls County left two teen-agers with injuries Tuesday night.
The accident happened at 10:15 p.m. at the junction of Missouri 154 and Route F, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The collision reportedly happened when a 1998 Dodge that was being driven southbound on Route F by 45-year-old Keith Falls of Columbia ran through a stop sign and hit a 2005 Dodge that was eastbound on Missouri 154. Both vehicles came to rest in a nearby bean field.
The driver of the 1995 Dodge, 17-year-old Mason Farrell of Vandalia, and his passenger, 15-year-old Carli Farrell of Vandalia, both suffered moderate injuries. They were transported to Hannibal Regional Hospital by Van-Far EMS.
