Ste. Genevieve Co., Mo. (KFMO) - A serious crash in Ste. Genevieve County left a juvenile hospitalized Sunday afternoon following a collision at a rural intersection.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 12 p.m. at the intersection of Kinsey Road and Misplay Road.

Investigators say a 15-year-old male from Bloomsdale was operating a 2025 Polaris Ranger Crew XP westbound when he failed to stop at a posted stop sign. The vehicle entered the path of a 2011 Ford Expedition traveling northbound, driven by a 23-year-old woman, also from Bloomsdale.

The two vehicles collided, causing extensive damage. After impact, the Polaris Ranger left the roadway and struck a fence post and tree.

The juvenile driver suffered serious injuries in the crash and was airlifted to a St. Louis-area children’s hospital for treatment. The driver of the Ford Expedition was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. Both vehicles were towed from the scene.
