(KAIR)--An Atchison man is dead, killed early Sunday morning in a single-vehicle crash in Buchanan County, Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says killed in the wreck on U.S. Highway 59, two miles east of Atchison, was 28-year-old Ryan Roper.
The Patrol says Roper was westbound when his Hyundai Sonata crossed the center line of the highway. According to the Patrol's report, Roper's car then began to skid and slide, sending the vehicle crashing into what the Patrol identifies as a "fixed object."
Roper, who was pronounced dead at the scene, was transported to Atchison's Arensberg-Pruett Funeral Home, where his funeral services are pending.
According to the Patrol, he was not wearing a seatbelt at the time of the fatal crash, which occurred shortly before 7:00 Sunday morning.
