A wood post from the guardrail flew into the southbound
lanes of the interstate and struck a 1999 Honda driven
by Glenn E. Owen, 53, of Kansas City.
According to a report by the Missouri State Highway Patrol,
Glauser was issued citations for careless and imprudent
driving and for no seatbelt. Glauser suffered minor injuries
