(KNZA)--A 13-year-old Dearborn, Missouri boy has died from injuries received in a two-vehicle crash on a Buchanan County, Missouri road, about 2 ½ miles south of St. Joseph.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash occurred around 8:00 Tuesday evening on Southeast 32nd Road, north of Seymour Road.

According to the Patrol report, the boy was driving a dirt bike southbound on Southeast 32nd Road when an eastbound SUV on Seymour Road made a left turn and began to slide into the intersection.

The dirt bike struck the front bumper of the SUV.

The boy was ejected from the bike.

He was initially taken to Mosaic Life Care, in St. Joseph, and later transferred to Children's Mercy Hospital, in Kansas City, where he died Wednesday morning from his injuries.

The driver of the SUV, an 18-year-old St. Joseph man, and his 18-year-old female passenger, from Country Club, Missouri, were taken by private vehicle to Mosaic for the treatment of minor injuries.
