Gibault Soccer Player Injured In Car Accident
Gibault sophomore
student Brent Russell was injured late Friday night in a collision on Route 3 in
Columbia. Russell was driving a Honda Civic that collided with a Dodge Durango
at 11:50 p.m. at the intersection of Route 3 and Gall Road. The Columbia
Volunteer Fire Department helped ambulance personnel extricate Russell from his
car, which came to rest after slamming head-on into a traffic signal pole. He
was transported by ambulance to a St. Louis area hospital with leg injuries,
including possible broken bones. The driver of the truck, whose name has not yet
been released, was taken to the hospital with injuries to his chest. The cause
of the accident has not yet been released. Russell is a member of Gibault’s
soccer team, which won the state tournament last weekend.
