A rural Sigel man died at HSHS St. Anthony's Memorial Hospital in Effingham Monday from injuries sustained when his semi was blown over during the tornadoes in rural Missouri on December 10.
According to the family of 60-year-old George Martin, he was driving for Dart Express on I-55 near Hayti, Missouri when several semi–tractor trailer units were blown over during the severe outbreak of tornadoes in Illinois, rural Missouri and Kentucky.
Martin sustained severe injuries and was transported to St. Francis Hospital in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. He was later released and went home. On Monday, he suffered a medical event due to his injuries and was transported to St. Anthony's, where he passed away at 11:33 am.
The Effingham County Coroner’s Office was contacted and responded to the emergency room. The investigation is continuing by the Effingham County Coroner’s office, the Missouri Highway Patrol and FEMA.
