A Paragould man sustained serious injuries Tuesday morning in a crash on Interstate 55 in New Madrid County, Missouri, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The collision occurred at 9:55 a.m. on Nov. 10, approximately one mile north of Matthews. Authorities say the 47-year-old man from Paragould was driving a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado southbound and had slowed to make a left turn into the emergency vehicle crossover. His pickup truck was struck from behind by a 1995 Peterbilt dump truck driven by a 66-year-old man from Dexter, Missouri. The impact pushed the Silverado into the cable barrier along the highway.
The Paragould man was transported by Air Evac to St. Louis University Medical Center to be treated for serious injuries. The Missouri State Highway Patrol did not report any injuries for the dump truck driver.
The crash remains under investigation by authorities.
