## Resource

A fiery, fatal crash on westbound I-70 near Woods Chapel Road early Monday morning claimed the life of a 62-year-old Fort Scott, Kansas truck driver—just before dawn on Memorial Day. The Mack truck veered off the road, slammed into a guardrail, and erupted in flames. Authorities pronounced him dead at the scene by 4:50 AM. The Missouri State Highway Patrol shut down the highway for hours, causing major traffic delays, before reopening it by noon. The tragic scene, unfolding on a day meant for remembrance, serves as a sobering reminder of road dangers and the fragility of life.
