Howard Romine, 21, of Rose Hill, was killed and Hugh Denny, 40, also of Rose Hill, was seriously injured at 7:30 Tuesday evening on 161 about 1 miles south of the No. 2 and 161 Junction near Ainsworth. The men stopped to put chains on a truck which they were driving to St. Louis with a load of hogs. They were struck by John C. Lynn of Fairfield who said he was unable to see the men on the pavement until too late to stop.

According to reports no flares were put out by the drivers of the truck when they stopped.
