A sledding accident has left a man from Joplin in serious condition.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says it happened around 1:15 Saturday afternoon on Lark Road on private property about a mile north of Goodman.

The accident occurred when a 32-year-old driver from Goodman lost control of the 2020 Ram 2500 that was pulling an occupant on a sledding tube.

The sledder, a 19-year-old male from Joplin, then smashed into a pole.

He was taken to Mercy Hospital in Joplin with serious injuries.
