2 University of Missouri athletes hurt in Columbia crash (Yahoo Sports)

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) -- A football player and a women's basketball player from the University of Missouri have been injured after their car flipped in Columbia.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Harold Brantley, a defensive lineman, was seriously injured in the Sunday afternoon crash on U.S. 63. The patrol report says Madeline Stock, a women's basketball player, sustained minor injuries.

The report says Brantley overcorrected after driving off the left side of the highway. The car then slid off the right side of the road, struck a guardrail and overturned. The patrol says neither Brantley nor Stock was wearing a seatbelt.
