No citations were issued following a single-vehicle accident on Sept. 3 on Interstate 35 southbound.
According to an Osceola police report, James Hunter of Clinton, Missouri, was traveling south on Interstate 35 in a 2003 Ford F350, pulling a 2009 Eagle camper that he had recently purchased. As he was driving, the camper became unattached and left the roadway to the right, where it overturned and stopped on its right side. There was damage to the camper, but not the truck. A small grass fire was caused by metal sparking on the roadway.
It is believed that the locking pin was unsecured, leading the camper to unhook from the truck.
Damage is estimated at $10,000.
