(KNZA)--An early Memorial Day single-vehicle northwest Missouri crash claimed the life of an Amazonia man.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says 42-year-old Todd Nelson was northbound on Route T, about a half mile north of Amazonia in Andrew County, when his car traveled off the right side of the road, struck a tree stump and overturned.

Nelson, who was wearing a seatbelt, was pronounced dead at the scene.

The wreck was reported around 2:30 Monday morning.
