A man was killed in a crash at 1:34 p.m. Sunday in Johnson County.
According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report, Josiah A. Musick, 17, of Holden, was traveling east on U.S. Route 50 when a southbound vehicle on Northwest 1601st Road driven by Jasper D. Smith, 33, of Kingsville, attempted to cross the median crossover and traveled into Musick’s path. Musick’s vehicle struck Smith’s and his vehicle traveled off the right side of the road, struck a utility pole and began to overturn before striking two traffic signs and a fence.
