A Knob Noster man suffered moderate injury after a pickup went off a highway east of the city Saturday, Aug. 8.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that at around 12:15 p.m., the 47-year-old man was a passenger in a pickup heading south on Route FF about a mile and a half north of U.S. Route 50. Troopers report that the driver lost control of his pickup and struck a ditch. The pickup returned to the roadway, only for the driver to overcorrect and leave the roadway a second time, coming to rest in the ditch. The passenger was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. Troopers say he had not been wearing his seat belt at the time of the crash. The driver, a 46-year-old man from Knob Noster, had no reported injuries.
