Springfield, MO

A 49-year-old man from Success was issued a summons for driving while intoxicated, failure to stop at a stop sign and careless and imprudent driving after he was injured in a one-car crash Friday night at the intersection of Missouri 32 and Route 17, according to a report from the Missouri Highway Patrol.

Tommy L. Sutton was flown to St. John's Hospital in Springfield late Friday with injuries described as serious by the patrol.

Sutton was hurt when he failed to stop his 2000 Dodge Dakota at a stop sign, went off the road, struck a tree and his truck caught fire, according to the report. It was not clear whether Sutton was wearing a seat belt, the report said.
