And, Tuesday morning, deputies with the Fremont County Sheriff’s Office received a call of a vehicle in the ditch near the intersection of Highway 59 and 270^th Street in Fremont County. A 2007 Lincoln Town Car driven by 86-year old Howard Carlisle, of Tarkio, Missouri, was traveling southbound on Highway 59, when he attempted to pass a 2007 Peterbilt Semi operated by 50-year old Scott Blazer, of Mound City, Missouri.  Blazer was also attempting to pass a slow moving vehicle, when he swerved to avoid a vehicle entering the roadway from 270^th Street.

Blazer’s semitrailer, struck Carlisle’s vehicle, causing the Town Car to leave the roadway and enter a field southeast of the intersection. Blazer continued southbound.
