St. Joseph Man Falls Asleep in Late Monday Crash in Andrew County

A Saint Joseph man suffered injuries in an Andrew County crash late Monday.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the accident occurred on Business 71, five miles south of Savannah, as a vehicle driven by 30-year-old Sisimit R. Macario drove southbound.

Troopers say Macario fell asleep, went off the west side of the road, struck a culvert, and struck a road sign.

Macario suffered moderate injuries and sought treatment at Mosaic Life Care in Saint Joseph.

Authorities say Macario was wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash.
