DICKINSON COUNTY – Two people were injured in an accident just after 6 p.m. on Saturday in Dickinson County.

An eastbound 2012 Oskosh semi driven by Azjanee M. Cain, 23, Oklahoma City, rear-ended the 2009 semi causing a large piece of metal to come off the semi.
A 2014 Toyota passenger vehicle, not part of the convoy and driven by Joel M. Pinkston, St. Louis, MO., ran over the piece of metal.
All three vehicles came to rest on the south shoulder of Interstate 70.
