Auburn couple recovering after head-on collision near Rock Port

ROCK PORT – The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports an injury accident involving Auburn residents on Friday evening.

Online records say a Dodge Ram pickup driven by 26-year-old Dalton Hart of Tarkio collided with a 1938 Chevrolet Deluxe driven by 50-year-old Kenneth Holmes of Auburn. The vehicles impacted head-on as Hart attempted to turn into a private drive by Highway 136.

Holmes and a passenger, 44-year-old Stephanie Holmes, were transported by Atchison-Holt Ambulance to the Community Hospital in Fairfax. Stephanie was taken to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Kenneth was taken by medical helicopter to UNMC.

A Facebook post Sunday says the couple expects a long recovery and surgeries ahead.
