Jamesport, MO (December 19, 2024) – 28-year-old Freightliner passenger from Trenton was transported following a Highway 190 collision Monday morning.

It was around 8:09 a.m. on December 16 when the collision between Ford F-350 and a Freightliner happened one mile east of Jamesport.

MSHP officers said both vehicles were traveling west on Highway 190 when the Freightliner, driven by a 47-year-old Trenton man slowed to make a right-hand turn into a private driveway. 

The Ford F-350 driven by a 26-year-old Jamesport man attempted to avoid the Freightliner but hit its rear driver’s side. 

As a result, the Freightliner overturned off the north side of the road and rested on its driver’s side facing north.

Meanwhile, the Ford F-350 also traveled off the north side of the highway but remained on its wheels. Troopers said the vehicle sustained total damage and was towed from the scene.

The Freightliner also sustained moderate damage and was also towed.

Moreover, a Freightliner passenger was transported to Wright Memorial Hospital with moderate injuries.

Always Drive Safely

When driving, always be mindful of traffic laws and road conditions. If you encounter a vehicle or driver behaving erratically—whether by weaving between lanes, tailgating, or speeding, give them plenty of space. It’s often best to change lanes and stay clear of dangerous drivers.

Adopting a defensive driving approach is the best way to ensure your safety and the safety of others on the road. Stay alert, drive cautiously, and be prepared to react to avoid accidents.
