An intoxicated woman from Houston was involved in an accident Saturday night south of Evening Shade, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
Cpl. Terry Nelson said Sharon L. Decker, 59, was driving a northbound 1990 Chevrolet truck that failed to negotiate a curve, travelled off the roadway and struck a tree.
Decker, who was not wearing a seat belt, was treated and released at the scene, which was at Slabtown and Long Hollow roads about three miles south of Evening Shade, said Nelson.
The vehicle had moderate damage.
Decker was charged with DWI, careless and imprudent driving, driving while suspended and wearing no seat belt, the patrol said.
