A Hannibal man escaped injury Thursday night when an inattentive driver struck the back of his truck.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol said that Jack L. Kirtlink, 56, of Hannibal, was performing road maintenance at 8:20 p.m. on southbound U.S. 61, north of Route KK, and a 2013 Kia Optima driven by Kaelin N.
