Tragic ATV Crash in Bourbon Missouri | Jefferson City News

Boonville’s library is moving to a stunning new historic spot—after 65 years in the same place! The revamped 1906 red brick building, funded by private donors, offers double the space for books, people, and imagination. Expect a one-month closure while they pack and relocate—but don’t worry: online services stay open, overdue books won’t accrue fines, and other branches in Sedalia, Cole Camp, and Warsaw remain fully operational. It’s a community win, powered by generosity and a little architectural magic.

At 10:30 PM on a Friday, Boone County firefighters raced to a brutal car crash on Brown Station Road where a driver was pinned after slamming into a tree. With the vehicle in shambles, crews stabilized the scene before deploying heavy extrication tools to free the victim — even calling in backup from Columbia Fire Department just in case. Thankfully, no aerial lift was needed, and the driver was safely extracted and rushed to the hospital. The cause? Still under investigation.
