WARRENTON, Mo. (AP) — A man who was chasing a dog on Interstate 70 west of St. Louis died after being hit by a car, officials said.
The incident happened around 9:30 p.m. Thursday in the westbound lanes on I-70 in Warren County, television station KMOV reported. David Courtway, 55, of Union, was running on the roadway chasing a dog when he was hit, according to police investigators.
