(KLZA)-- A 63-year-old Tarkio man died early Tuesday evening from injuries suffered when his pickup ran into the rear of a semi-truck on U.S. 136 Highway on the east edge of Rock Port.
The Missouri Highway Patrol reports the semi and the pickup were eastbound when the semi slowed to make a turn into a private drive. The pickup, driven by Scott Price, struck the rear of the semi and skidded off the south side of the highway into a ditch.
The semi driver, 20-year-old Icics Vandevere, of Rock Port, suffered minor injuries and was transported by ambulance to the Nemaha County Hospital in Auburn.
Price was pronounced dead at the scene.
The Rock Port Police Department, Atchison County Sheriff's Department, Rock Port Fire Department, and Air Evac of Clarinda, Iowa all responded to the scene of the wreck.
