No injuries were immediately reported after a rollover crash Monday morning near Brookview Drive in Washington. First responders were dispatched to the scene off East Fifth Street around 8:25 a.m., following a report of a truck crashing into a house. Police said the driver appears to have been driving on Fifth Street when his truck ran off the road and into a town home unit under construction across from Brookview. The driver was able to exit the vehicle and walk around after the crash.

Since its founding a decade ago, the mission of the Franklin County Homeless Task Force hasn’t changed — even as the scope of its work has grown. Task force members agree the number of county residents without homes has increased over the last 10 years, following the same trend as the rest of the state. Data collected each year for the federal Department of Housing and Urban Development shows Missouri’s rate of homelessness in 2024 was the highest it’s been over the last decade.

A Union man was sentenced to 20 years in prison for the physical abuse of a three-year-old after taking a plea recommendation from prosecutors, offered over the objections of the child’s father. Anthony Junge, 33, pleaded guilty to two felony charges May 30, and Franklin County Circuit Judge Craig Hellmann handed down sentences of 10 years for each charge. Earlier that month, Junge had waived his right to a jury trial, which had been set to begin this week. kAm}2E92?

The Washington Traffic Commission approved a request for new stop signs at three downtown intersections, making them four-way stops. After the topic was first raised last month, the commission recommended that the intersections at Jefferson and Main, Jefferson and Second, and Market and Second streets all become four-way stops. Those intersections are currently two-way stops, with eastbound and westbound traffic stopping, but not northbound and southbound traffic. kAm%96 C64@>>6?52E:@?

Franklin County is hoping to make future aerial mapping more affordable through cheaper software options or potentially purchasing its own drone. County Assessor Dawn Mentz told commissioners Thursday it’s time to start thinking about whether to renew a contract with EagleView, a New York-based aerial imaging company. Three former county commissioners spent $348,039 last year on a two-year contract using federal American Rescue Plan Act funds, according to previous Missourian reporting.
