A Union woman received moderate injuries late Thursday night when she was struck by a vehicle roadside on Highway 19, two-tenths of a mile north of Catholic Church Road.

Missouri State Highway Patrol Trooper Evan T. Hane’s report of the 10:45 p.m. incident on Oct. 4 noted a 2004 Ford Taurus, facing south, and a 2001 Dodge Stratus, facing north, were stopped in the roadway and blocking the northbound lane of Highway 19.

A northbound 2018 Chevrolet Trax being driven by John G. Sansoucie, 47, of Mt. Sterling, struck both the Taurus and the Stratus, causing the Stratus to collide with a pedestrian identified as Shannon L. Buckner, 40. She was transported by Hermann Area Ambulance District personnel to University Hospital in Columbia for treatment.

Sansoucie was wearing a seat belt and was not injured. Sansoucie’s vehicle had extensive damage as did the Stratus. Minor damage was reported to the Taurus and was driven from the scene. The other two were towed from the scene.
