A 42-year-old St. Louis man is dead after being run over by a semi last night. Police are identifying the victim as Mario Rowell.
Investigators say they don't know why Rowell was lying in the middle of Riverview Drive near Adrian about midnight. The truck driver told police he saw Rowell too late to avoid hitting him. Rowell was rushed to the hospital, but died a short time later.
Police say the Big Rig driver is a 30-year veteran with a clean driving record.
