Two were airlifted after a serious crash outside of Cassville on Thursday, September 12, around 5:45 p.m. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported the crash was caused by one of the drivers looking at GPS on his phone and crossing over the center line.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report, Dazthil O. Sibrian, 31, of Cave Springs, Ark., was driving northbound on Highway 112 about four miles south of Cassville when he crossed the center line and struck a second vehicle head-on. Sibrian was driving a 1997 Mitsubishi Montero. The second vehicle was a 2007 Cadillac DTS, driven by Michael A. Burke, 66, of Shell Knob. The Highway Patrol reported Sibrian was manipulating his GPS on his phone when he crashed.

Both drivers were injured in the crash, as was a passenger in Burke's car, Donna P. Burke, 65, of Shell Knob. Both of the Burkes were transported by air ambulance to Cox South Hospital, in Springfield, for serious injuries.

Sibrian was transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Rogers, Ark., for moderate injuries.

All three parties were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.

Both vehicles were totalled as a result of the crash. The Mitsubishi was towed from the scene by Brice's Towing, of Cassville. The Cadillac was towed by Wilson's Towing, of Washburn.
