A passenger died Tuesday afternoon in Linn County when a pickup truck hit a large commercial truck that was parked on the shoulder of a highway.
The 45-year-old Holts Summit man was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash on Highway 36 a mile west of Bucklin. It was unknown whether the man, who was riding in a Ford F-250 driven by a 32-year-old Ashland man, was wearing a seat belt.
The driver of the pickup suffered serious injuries and was taken by ambulance to Pershing Memorial Hospital in Brookfield.
The crash happened when the F-250 hit a 2019 Peterbilt 567 registered out of Shelbina that was parked on the shoulder of eastbound Highway 36, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report.
No injuries were reported in the Peterbilt, the report states.
