A 61-year-old Rolla man died in a Monday evening crash in the 17000 block of County Road 522 in Maries County, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The report says that the crash occurred as a 2021 Can-Am Defender UTV – driven by a 61-year-old Rolla woman – was heading westbound when it went off the right side of the road and hit a tree. Both people in the vehicle were “partially ejected,” the report says.
The man was pronounced dead at the scene by the Maries County coroner.
Neither person utilized a safety device, the report says. The woman was brought to Phelps Health Hospital in Rolla with serious injuries, the report says.
MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
