Missouri State Highway Patrol says a pedestrian was killed in a crash in Miller County on Wednesday night.

According to the crash report, 20-year-old George Cook was standing in the westbound lane of Route 54 near East View Dr. Troopers say the driver of a Chevy Truck tried to avoid a crash but hit Cook. The truck then went off the road and hit a traffic sign.

Cook was later pronounced dead at Lake Regional Hospital a short time later.

This is Troop F's 7th fatality for December.
