Comments 0 | Recommend 0A Stark City man was injured Monday when he lost control of his tractor-trailer on wet pavement and slid off the road, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol reports.
Thomas H. Kassner, 43, was taken by ambulance to Fitzgibbon Hospital in Marshall after the crash at 5:10 a.m. Kassner was treated and transferred to another facility with non-life threatening injuries, a hospital spokesman said.
