Oxford, MO (February 11, 2025) – A crash in northern Missouri left one man dead and another seriously injured early Saturday morning.
Authorities with the Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the accident just before 2:15 a.m. on February 8. The crash occurred along Route U, about a quarter mile south of Oxford.
Investigations revealed that a 20-year-old man was driving a 2011 Dodge Ram 2500 southbound when he failed to navigate a curve in the roadway. The truck veered off the east side of the road, struck an embankment, and went airborne. Upon landing, the vehicle rolled multiple times, ejecting the 21-year-old passenger before coming to rest on its wheels.
Emergency responders arrived and pronounced the passenger dead at the scene. Officials have since notified his family. The driver sustained serious injuries and was flown to a hospital in Kansas City for treatment. His current condition has not been released. Authorities confirmed that neither individual was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is continuing its investigation.
Our deepest condolences go out to the family of the deceased victim, and we also hope the injured driver makes a full recovery.
