Glasgow man dies when deer crashes through his windshield in DWI crash near Rocheport
A Howard County man dies when a deer crashes through his windshield in Boone County in a possible drunk driving crash. The accident happened a little before 6:00 last night on Highway 40, near Rocheport. The Missouri State Highway Patrol says David Sparks, 75, of Clark, was headed eastbound on the highway when he struck a deer in the road. The deer was propelled into the westbound lane of traffic and directly into the path of an oncoming vehicle. The deer struck that vehicle’s windshield, entered the vehicle, and struck the driver. The driver, a 40-year-old man from Glasgow, ran off the left side of the road and collided with trees. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
