A pickup truck was totaled after striking a hay bale that fell off a trailer. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says this happened Thursday night (October 29) west of Ravenwood on Highway 136 at Neon Road. The hay bale fell off the trailer of the eastbound tractor and was struck head on by the westbound pickup. That caused the pickup to cross the center line and strike a fence corner post. The driver of the truck, a 62 year old man from Maryville, was taken by a private vehicle with minor injuries to the Maryville hospital. The driver of the tractor, a 49 year old man from Ravenwood, continued to his destination, returned to the scene in a smaller vehicle, and notified 9-1-1. The driver of the tractor was not injured. No names were released.
