A 40-year-old Glasgow man was killed in a bizarre accident involving a deer Thursday evening on Highway 40 near Rocheport.
Jason Gerlach was driving westbound in a 2004 Jeep Renegade when 75-year-old David Sparks of Clark, traveling eastbound in a 2024 Chevrolet Equinox, struck a deer. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the deer was thrown into the westbound lane directly into the path of the Jeep. It struck the windshield and the top of the vehicle, entered the passenger compartment, and hit Gerlach.
The Jeep then left the left side of the roadway and struck trees. Gerlach was pronounced dead at the scene. He was wearing a seat belt.
Sparks was later arrested and booked into the Boone County Jail on suspicion of driving while intoxicated, causing the death of another. He was held without bond but has since been released, according to the jail roster.
