An area man was killed when he was ejected from his pickup truck early Saturday afternoon in Ozark County. The 36-year-old Caulfield male was pronounced dead at the scene nearly an hour-and-a-half after the crash occurred.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the unidentified male was traveling on Missouri Route H. He was nearly four miles west of Caulfield when his truck ran off the right side of the roadway. The man reportedly overcorrected, and his truck went off the opposite side of the road, struck a utility pole and overturned. The male was not wearing a seat belt.
The crash resulted in the fourth fatality reported this year by Troop G, compared to zero deaths at the same time in 2024. The truck was totaled in the 12:27 p.m. accident.
