JEFFERSON CITY — A 67-year-old Jonesburg, Mo. man died Wednesday night, when he was struck by a truck, while standing outside his pick up on I-55 in Perry County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports Richard P. Hayden was pronounced at St. Louis University Hospital after being flown there by an Air Evac medical helicopter.

Jones, who was buckled up, was not injured.
