An elderly man from Macks Creek was flown to University Hospital on Friday after he was seriously injured in a crash in Camden County, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The report says the crash occurred on eastbound Highway 54. A 2002 Chevrolet Silverado was heading east when the driver – an 87-year-old Macks Creek man – failed to yield to a flagger and hit a 1998 Freightliner, the report says.
The man was not wearing a seatbelt, according to the report. He was brought to Lake Regional Hospital by ambulance before being flown to University Hospital, the report says.
Both vehicles had moderate damage. MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
