Donald Fuchs Killed in Frightening Crash on West Lincoln Avenue [Owensville, MO]

Owensville, MO (January 29, 2025) On Tuesday morning, 84-year-old Donald Fuchs was killed, while his wife, Glenda, was hurt after a frightening crash on West Lincoln Avenue.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), the shocking incident happened at around 9 a.m. after a dump truck veered off the road and crashed into the Fuchs’ home on West Lincoln Avenue in Owensville.

Reports say that when the crash occurred, Donald, who was seated in his favorite armchair, officials say pronounced him dead at the scene. Meanwhile, Glenda, 82, was sitting on the couch doing taxes when the truck struck their home. She was hospitalized but later released to recover with family.

Authorities described the incident as a tragic and unexpected event, emphasizing that most people do not anticipate being struck by a vehicle inside their own home.

MSHP are investigating what caused the truck to leave the roadway, considering possibilities such as driver error or mechanical failure. Witnesses reported seeing the vehicle moving at a high speed before impact. Crews arrived hours after the crash to board up the damaged home and begin repairs.
