GENTRY COUNTY — One person died in an accident just after noon Wednesday in Gentry County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 1990 Ford 9000 Dump Truck driven by Jacobi R. Zimmerman, 26, Maryville was eastbound on Route D four miles west of Gentry.

The driver attempted to overtake a 1988 John Deere tractor driven by Kameron T. Wallace, 17, Stanberry, and towing a hay mower at the same time the tractor moved into the center of the roadway in an attempt to prevent the mower from traveling into a culvert.

The dump truck traveled off the road to avoid a crash but rear-ended the mower and tractor. The mower disconnected from the tractor.

The tractor overturned and rolled off the north side of the road into a ditch. After impact, the dump truck returned to the road and rolled onto the driver’s side.

Wallace was pronounced dead at the scene. A private vehicle transported Zimmerman to Mosaic Life Care. He was properly restrained at the time of the accident, according to the MSHP.
