Little information is known in a semi / wheelchair accident last night in Joplin.

 Joplin 9-1-1 received the call just before 10:00 p.m. Officers responding to I-44 and Rangeline found a man struck by a semi on the westbound overpass by a westbound tractor-trailer. He was pronounced deceased on scene.

 The tractor-trailer operator is cooperating with authorities. The driving lane was closed for approximately 90 minutes for initial investigation.

 The investigation by the Joplin Police Major Crash Team continues, with more information expected to be released later today.
