Posted
A Lebanon man was hurt in a two-vehicle wreck at 2:45 p.m. Monday on Missouri 64, eight miles south of Tunas. The wreck occurred when a westbound 2005 Buick LeSabre driven by Austin J. French, 20, of Lebanon, was stopped in the roadway to check on a disabled vehicle and was struck in the rear by a westbound 1993 Chevrolet S10 driven by Robert G. Payne, 72, of Tunas. French was transported to Lake Regional Hospital in Osage Beach, with what the Highway Patrol described as moderate injuries. Both drivers were reportedly wearing seat belts.
