A man from Buffalo is dead following a car crash along Highway 65.
Authorities say the crash happened Thursday night when the car the man was driving going northbound went off the left side of the highway, crossed the median, then the southbound lanes.
The car eventually collided with trees and an embankment and came to a stop.
The 59-year-old man was transported to a Springfield hospital, but later died of his injuries.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Troop D investigated the crash. It is the 103rd fatal car crash in the group’s area in 2024.
