HENRY CO., Mo. (KCTV) – A single-vehicle collision ended with a fatality over the weekend after a car flipped onto its top on a rural Missouri highway near the Harry S. Truman Reservoir.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol indicates that around 11:20 a.m. on Saturday, June 29, emergency crews were called to the area of Route U and SE 580 Rd. with reports of a collision.

When first responders arrived, they said they found a 2005 Pontiac Grand Prix driven by Steven F. Albin, 67, of Clinton, Mo., had run off the right side of the roadway and then hit a ditch and a culvert.

Troopers noted that the impact on the culvert caused the vehicle to flip onto its top. Albin was pronounced deceased at the scene. No further information has been released.

A Missouri fire department was responding to a fire Friday night only to learn that blaze now involved an explosion. Once they arrived, they learned a Missouri home had exploded and as of now, no one knows exactly why or who might have been in the building.

The Eureka, Missouri Fire Protection District shared these alarming pictures on their Facebook page Saturday morning about the structure they found leveled.

According to the spokesperson from the Eureka Fire Protection District, they feared that individuals might still be buried under the remains of the home, but as of this writing, they have found no one.

In home explosions like this, the most likely culprit is a gas leak in association with the fire, but there’s no confirmation at this time.

As this is a developing story, it will be updated once new information is released after the Eureka, Missouri Fire Protection District completes its investigation.

Applications open Monday for more than 150 managed deer hunts at designated conservation areas with the Missouri Department of Conservation.

Deer hunters can apply online for a shot at the hunts, which will take place across the state from mid-September to mid-January, according to a news release from the department. 

Deer hunting season is split into smaller seasons of firearms and archery, which are further divided by the age of the deer.

There will be managed hunts for archery, muzzleloading, shotgun and modern firearms. Some hunts are held specifically for youth, new hunters and people with disabilities. 

The hunts will be held at designated conservation areas, state parks, national wildlife refuges and other park locations.

Applications close July 31, according to the department’s website.

Hunters are selected by a weighted random drawing, the conservation department said in a news release. Draw results will be available starting Aug. 15. Applicants who are drawn will receive area maps and other information by mail. 

More information, including application restrictions and hunt, is available on the department’s website.
