Rock Port, Misssouri — A Sheldon man was hospitalized following a traffic crash early Monday near Rock Port, Missouri.
The Missouri Highway Patrol says the accident happened shortly before 1:00 am, three miles south of Rock Port on Interstate 29, when a 2016 Peterbilt semi-tractor and trailer, driven by 33-year old Donald Steingrubey of Sheldon, which was southbound on I-29, traveled off onto the shoulder of the interstate, striking the rear of a 2000 Chevrolet Suburban, driven by 28-year old Jaime Chirino of Omaha, which had stopped on the shoulder of the road.
