Semi Overturns, Soy Bean Crates Spill Onto Highway East Of Osborn

A trucker from Bloomington, Illinois suffered moderate injuries after his tractor-trailer overturned along US-36 east of Osborn Thursday evening.

State troopers say 60-year-old Lee Davito was driving a truck loaded with boxes of soybeans when the big rig left the highway, hit three highway signs and a culvert.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report indicates most of the soybeans remained in the trailer.

But the report noted that the driving lane of US-36 was closed for several hours for cleanup and removal of the truck.

Davito was in fair condition at Heartland Regional Medical Center Friday morning.
