On Monday, April 21, 2008, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a Missouri truck accident involving a Mack Concrete pumping truck on Eastbound highway 54 at Lake Road 54-85. According to the investigating officer, Eric Branch, 31 of Eldon, Missouri, was driving the concrete truck when he made a left turn into the path of a 1992 Chevrolet S10 Pickup driven by twenty-three year old Kevin Huckabee. Mr. Huckabee had two passengers in his vehicle, Devin Clark, 21 and Dustin Vaughn, 23. Each of these young men resided in Macks Creek, Missouri.

Huckabee was flown to St. John's hospital in Springfield, Missouri where he was listed with serious personal injuries. Mr. Clark and Mr. Vaughn were pronounced dead at the scene by Camden County coroner Dr. James Jungles. Mr. Branch escaped from the crash unhurt.

Police have not stated what circumstances contributed to cause this horrific incident. Since this accident involved two deaths, the Missouri Highway Patrol will conduct a full accident reconstruction to determine exactly how this tragic incident occurred. Once completed, the police will have an understanding of each vehicle's speed immediately before impact.
