On Wednesday, August 28, 2013 at around 6:40 PM Kyle Caires (17) of Valley Springs was driving a 1993 Ford Explorer eastbound on Hwy 12 west of Evans Road at approximately 55 MPH.
Donald Jones (52) of Valley Springs was driving a 1976 Argo Motorhome eastbound on Hwy 12 and had slowed to approximately 5 MPH as he began to turn left onto Evans Road.
Caires fell asleep while driving the Explorer and failed to see the motorhome initiating a left-hand turn ahead of him.
The front of the Explorer struck the left rear of the motorhome and caused the motorhome to catapult across the westbound lane, missing the left-hand turn
The Motorhome went off the roadway and down the embankment east of Evans Road before coming to rest.
The Explorer came to rest blocking the eastbound lane of Hwy 12. Both parties were transported to Mark Twain Medical Center with minor injuries.
