(KNZA)--A St. Joseph, Missouri man is dead following a two-vehicle crash Thursday morning in Buchanan County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash happened just after 7:30 a.m. on Missouri Route 116, about two miles southwest of DeKalb.
According to troopers, a pickup truck driven by a 66-year-old DeKalb man crossed the center line and struck a farm implement being pulled by a John Deere tractor operated by a 26-year-old man from Dearborn.
After the collision, the pickup traveled off the roadway and crashed into a creek bed. The tractor came to rest near a field entrance.
A 63-year-old passenger in the pickup was pronounced dead at the scene. The driver was transported to Mosaic Life Care in St. Joseph with suspected serious injuries. The tractor driver was not injured.
Authorities say neither the driver nor the passenger in the pickup was wearing a seatbelt.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of crash victims.
