A 35-year-old truck driver from Independence, Missouri, was treated for injuries after he lost control of his tractor-trailer Wednesday on Interstate 70 in Cooper County.
The 2017 Freightliner was traveling east at the 96.2 mile marker when the truck went off the left side of the road at about 9 a.m., according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report. The driver overcorrected, hitting a 2024 Freightliner, and then went off the road and overturned, the report states.
The driver of the 2024 Freightliner was not hurt.
