The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2002 Kenworth semi driven by Stanley W. Parker, 39, Oak Ridge, was eastbound on U.S. 36 one mile east of Cameron.
The semi lost the dual tires on the number 3 axel. The tires traveled across the median onto the westbound lanes and struck a westbound 1986 Ford Mustang driven by Jerry L. Graham, 72, Hamilton, head-on. The Mustang then traveled off the road and down an embankment.
