A St. Joseph motorcyclist died in a chain-reaction crash late Sunday afternoon on U.S. 169, about two miles south of Union Star.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports 64-year-old Mark Stickler died after being taken to the hospital.
The patrol crash report states a 2013 GMC Denali truck driven by 22-year-old Austin McGinnis of Union Star was northbound on U.S. 169 two miles south of Union Star when he rear-ended a 2019 GMC Yukon driven by 63-year-old Kenneth Wells of Union Star, who had stopped behind a vehicle waiting to turn left on a county road.
The impact forced the Yukon into the rear of the 2019 Subaru Outback stopped to make the turn, driven by 47-year-old Jacklynn Grimwood of St. Joseph. The Yukon careened off the Outback and into the path of the motorcycle, traveling south in the other lane, throwing him off the motorcycle.
The Andrew County Ambulance transported Stickler to Mosaic Life Care hospital in St. Joseph where he was pronounced dead.
The other drivers were not injured.
