(KAIR)--A Saint Joseph, Missouri man is dead, and three Atchison County residents injured, following a two vehicle, late Thursday morning Buchanan County, Missouri crash.

Dead is 50-year-old Lonnie Elmore. The Missouri State Highway Patrol identifies him as the passenger in a Honda Civic driven by 25-year-old Atchison resident Jonathan Turner.

Turner suffered moderate injuries in the crash and was transported by Atchison County EMS to Mosaic Life Care, in Saint Joseph, Missouri, for treatment.

The driver of a Chevrolet Traverse, 55-year-old Kirk Kloepper, and his passenger, 55-year-old Laurie Kloepper, both of Effingham, suffered minor injuries and were transported by Atchison County EMS to the Atchison Hospital.

The wreck happened on U.S.Highway 59, east of Atchison, a half-mile east of Winthrop, Missouri.

According to the report from the Patrol, Turner was southbound on the highway when he attempted to turn east onto private property, failing to yield to northbound traffic.

Kloepper was unable to react in time, causing his northbound car to collide with Turner's.

Both vehicles ran off the east side of the highway.

Elmore was the only one not wearing a seatbelt when the wreck happened shortly before 12 noon.
