WORTH COUNTY—One person was injured in an accident just before 5p.m. Saturday in Worth County, Missouri.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2015 Dodge Caravan was stopped on private property at 301 West Street in Grant City.  A 72-year-old driver left the vehicle in drive and turned it off. As the driver attempted to exit the van, it began to roll backwards down a hill. 

The open van door struck the driver and she fell to the ground. The van continued backwards across West Street, continued downhill and struck a parked 2015 Toyota Camry at 303 West 4th Street.

Worth County EMS transported the woman to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph for treatment of serious injuries. The Patrol did not release the woman's name. Grant City is located two hours north of Kansas City.
