A 20-year-old Thayer man suffered minor injuries late Thursday after the pickup truck he was driving struck a parked vehicle on MO 19 south of Alton, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol's online crash report.

The patrol said the crash happened at 11:50 p.m. on November 12, about one mile south of Alton in Oregon County. A 2005 Dodge Ram traveling southbound collided with a 2003 Chevrolet Avalanche that was parked along the roadway, the report states.
