Tasha D. Michael, 42, of De Soto was seriously hurt Tuesday afternoon (Oct. 29) in a crash involving a mail truck on Hillsboro Victoria Road north of Victoria Road in the Victoria area between Festus and De Soto, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
At 12:40 p.m., Michael was driving a 1994 Chevrolet mail truck south on Hillsboro Victoria Road, and the vehicle partially ran off the right side of the road, so she overcorrected, but then the truck ran off the left side of the road, where it struck a tree, the report said.
She was taken by Valle Ambulance to Mercy Hospital South in south St. Louis County.
Michael was wearing a seat belt, the patrol reported.
The truck was totaled, the report said.
