An Arkansas man was injured after crossing the center line and hitting a trailer pulled behind a pickup outside of Aurora on Monday. The crash occurred around 11:50 a.m. on Missouri 39 about five miles south of Aurora on September 16.

Arvin D. Smith, 78, of Booneville, Ark., was driving a 2015 Hyundai Elantra southbound on Missouri 39 when he crossed the center line and struck a flatbed trailer being towed by another vehicle headed northbound. The second vehicle was a 2008 Ford F-250 pulling a 20 foot flatbed trailer, driven by Dragisa C. Milinkovich, 62 of Eagle Rock.

Arvin was the only one injured in the crash. He was transported by ambulance to Mercy Hospital in Aurora for treatment of moderate injuries.

Both men driving vehicles involved in the crash were wearing seat belts at the time of the incident.

The Elantra was totalled and towed from the scene by Jim Carr Towing, of Aurora. The F-250 sustained no damage.
