58-year-old Charles Sharknas was crossing Main Street a little after 6:30 p.m. Monday night, when he walked in front of a Dodge Ram Pickup truck heading west.

Sharknas was flown to a St. Louis hospital after originally being taken to Herrin Hospital. Among his injuries is a compound fracture of the leg.
