Wednesday rollover on Konarcik Road

The Hecker Fire Department, Monroe County Sheriff’s Department and Monroe County EMS responded just before 3:45 p.m. Wednesday for a one-vehicle rollover crash on Konarcik Road at Orlet Road in rural Waterloo.

Police said a 2006 Toyota RAV4 driven by a 16-year-old male was traveling west on Konarcik Road approximately .8 miles west of Orlet Road when a witness vehicle was traveling east on Konarcik Road, which is hilly with limited vision.

As the two vehicles met near the top of a hill, the Toyota went off the roadway to the right, back onto the roadway, skidded across and off the roadway on the left, struck an embankment, and overturned multiple times before coming to final rest upright on the roadway facing north.

The driver and a passenger were transported by family members to Mercy Hospital South in St. Louis County for evaluation.
