A Purdy teenager was injured in a wreck at 7:50 a.m. on Monday on Route B, one mile west of Purdy.

According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report, a 15-year-old male, of Purdy, was driving a 1991 Toyota Camry westbound when his vehicle ran off the right side of the roadway, overcorrected and traveled off the left side of the roadway, striking a ditch and overturning.

The 15-year-old suffered moderate injuries and was transported to Cox Monett Hospital. 

He was not wearing a safety device, and the vehicle was totaled.
