Baxter of Warrensburg. The Ford, driven by 32-year-old Charity N. Hatcher of Knob Noster, then struck the end of the guardrail. The motorcycle then traveled off the roadway and into a ditch.

Tracy suffered moderate injuries and was life-flighted to Research Hospital. His passenger, 26-year-old Christa Hope Arnold, suffered serious injuries and was transported to Research Hospital by EMS.

The Chevy had minor damage, while the motorcycle and Ford had extensive damage and were towed from the scene.
