ANDREW COUNTY, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- One man is seriously injured after being struck by a vehicle on Tuesday morning.

A 76-year-old male driver of a 1997 Ford F-350 from Spokane, Washington, was parked on the shoulder of southbound I-29, near mile marker 57.

The driver then put the vehicle in drive, where it jolted and hit a 72-year-old male pedestrian.

After hitting the pedestrian, the driver then traveled off the west side of the roadway, struck a traffic sign and came to rest in a ditch, facing southeast.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the crash around 9:06 a.m. on Tuesday.

The pedestrian, from Cusick, Washington, was transported by Andrew County EMS to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph.
