Trenton man seriously injured in crash with semi

A Trenton man was seriously injured in a crash with a semi Tuesday evening.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, shortly after 6 p.m., a Peterbilt driven by Jackie L. Peacock, 61, of Lamar had slowed down to make a right turn into a parking lot off of MO 6 about one mile east of Trenton. Jordin M. Curtis, 24, was driving a GMC 1500 pickup and did not notice the semi slowing down. His vehicle crashed into the back of the loaded trailer.

Grundy County firefighters arrived on scene to extricate Curtis from his vehicle before he was transported by Grundy County Ambulance to Wright Memorial in Trenton for treatment of serious injuries. He was then transported by Lifeflight to Truman Medical Center in Independence.

According to the crash report, Curtis was not wearing a seatbelt.
