58 year old Terry Roberts was driving a 2011 Freightliner south on Route AC when he failed to stop at US 169 Highway around 1:50 Tuesday morning.

The vehicle crossed the highway and went into a private drive before hitting a tree. Roberts was wearing a seat belt but passenger 71 year old Don Gillenwater was not. Both were taken to Heartland for treatment.

The Missouri Highway Patrol says Roberts was charged with Driving While Intoxicated and Careless and Imprudent Driving.
