A 34-year-old Branson man, who identified as a 2023 Ford F-250 pickup truck, died Wednesday night after being struck by a semi-truck on Highway 65. The man, known as “Mack,” was reportedly mimicking vehicle movements on the roadway at around 9:15 p.m. when the collision occurred. The semi-truck driver was uninjured, and no charges are expected.

Mack had gained attention for his “trans-vehicle identity,” often wearing truck-themed clothing and full vehicle gear. The Missouri Highway Patrol is investigating and urges witnesses to call their office. A vigil is planned for Saturday.
