A 35-year-old man from Sturgeon died in a two-vehicle crash Monday morning at the intersection of Highway 63 and Highway 124 in Boone County, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The patrol's crash report states a 1997 Honda Civic was traveling westbound on Highway 124 and entered the path of northbound traffic on Highway 63, resulting in a collision between the two vehicles. The Sturgeon man was pronounced dead as a result of the crash, the patrol said.

Two vehicles were involved in the collision, and the Missouri State Highway Patrol is the agency of record investigating the incident. No additional details on injuries to other parties involved have been released.

The crash occurred in Boone County, an area covered by the highway patrol's jurisdiction along the Highway 63 corridor.
