According to a report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), the crash happened at around 1 p.m. on Sept. 11, on Route H nine miles west of Jasper.

MSHP says a trash truck went partially off the right side of the road and overcorrected, sending it off the left side of the road before it overturned.
