Gower, Missouri man killed when pickup crashes into tractor-trailer
Johnny Roberts, 23, was killed and another man was seriously injured Saturday when the pickup truck they were riding in collided with a tractor-trailer on Route B.
The accident occurred as Roberts’ pickup came over the crest of a hill on Route B. According to the highway patrol, a tractor-trailer, driven by David Jones, 66, was entering Route B from a gravel road and was blocking most of the roadway. Roberts was unable to stop and the pickup slid partially under the trailer, striking the front axle.
Roberts was pronounced dead at the scene. The passenger, Scott Labrozzi, 39, was taken to Heartland Regional Medical Center with serious injuries.
