Daniel L. Hurtgen, 66, of De Soto was seriously injured Sunday night (Oct. 24) in a one-vehicle accident on Hwy. P north of Hipoint Church Road southwest of Potosi in Washington County, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
At 8:10 p.m., Hurtgen was driving a 1989 GMC Sierra north on the highway, lost control of the pickup on the wet pavement along a curve and then overcorrected, causing the vehicle to run off the east side of the road, the report said.
He was taken by ambulance to Mercy Hospital South in St. Louis County, where he was listed in satisfactory condition today (Oct. 26), a hospital spokesman said.
It is unknown if Hurtgen was wearing a seat belt, the patrol reported.
The pickup was not damaged, the report said.
