Pulaski County, MO — February 13, 2025, a driver sustained injuries as the result of a dual truck accident at around 9:57 a.m. along Interstate 44.
According to initial statements from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, it happened along the eastbound lanes of the interstate near mile marker 145.
Investigators said that a 36-year-old Mississippi man was in a truck going along the interstate. Another semi-truck was reportedly stopped along the shoulder of an exit ramp up ahead. In a series of events unclear, the first truck crashed into the parked truck, and the driver of the first truck “jumped” from his vehicle.
Due to the events, the Mississippi truck driver sustained serious injuries. There were no other reported injuries. Investigations are ongoing.

Any commercial truck wreck is going to bring its own unique challenges to contend with. The unusual circumstances mentioned in these reports only raise those concerns. It makes me wonder if authorities are going to take the time to dig through all of the possible factors here, likely or not, to ensure that nothing important slips through the cracks. It would surprise folks how often crashes like this need more thorough secondary investigations to make sure all of the facts are brought to light. It wouldn’t be unusual if the same proved true here, as well.
