Updated: Truck driver hurt, roadway closed due to ethanol spill in St. Clair County

On 12/30/16 around 7:45am the Missouri State Highway Patrol in St. Clair County responded to a one vehicle semi truck accident on Missouri 82 Highway around 7 miles East of Osceola.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred when the 1994 Mack Truck driven by 52 year old Christopher S. Lacombe of Pleasant Valley, Missouri traveled off the left side of the roadway and overturned spilling around 8,000 gallons of Ethanol.

Mr. Lacombe sustained moderate injuries in this accident and he was transported to Citizens Memorial Hospital in Bolivar, Missouri for treatment.

The roadway is still blocked at this time why crews work to remove the semi truck and clear the roadway.
