Two Kansas women were injured Monday in a one-car accident on U.S. Highway 65 in Pettis County, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

Carrie J. Parlier, 20, of Almena, Kan., was transported to Bothwell Regional Health Center with moderate injuries.

Sherry L. Albert, 38, suffered minor injuries in the wreck but refused treatment at the scene of the crash, troopers reported.
