(KNZA)--A single-vehicle wreck in northwest Missouri Saturday afternoon claimed the live of a Craig, Missouri man.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck on U.S. 59 Highway in Mound City was 57-year-old Dayton Lawson.
The Patrol says Lawson was southbound when his pickup truck crossed the center line and went off the east side of the highway. The vehicle went up an embankment and Lawson, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was ejected through the front passenger window.
Lawson was pronounced dead at the scene by the Holt County coroner.
The wreck was reported shortly before 4:00.
Assisting at the scene were the Holt County Sheriff's Department and Mound City Police Department.
