Dirt bike accident in McDonald County injures two boys

The crash of two off-road dirt bikes on private property on Stoneville Lane a half mile east of Anderson has resulted in injuries to two boys.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred around 4:30 Saturday afternoon when a northbound 2018 Kawasaki KLX-140 cycle, operated by a 10-year-old boy, hit the front tire of an eastbound 2022 Suzuki RM80 cycle operated by an an 11-year old.

That caused both vehicles to overturn, ejecting both riders.

Both boys of the boys were from Anderson, Mo.

They suffered moderate injuries.

They were transported to separate hospitals in Joplin for treatment.
