Anderson, MO (Thursday, November 20, 2025) – A man was killed in a two-vehicle crash late Thursday morning on Hwy F, just half a mile west of Anderson in McDonald County.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash happened at around 11:52 a.m. when a 2003 Buick Park Avenue, traveling eastbound, crossed the centerline and collided head-on with a 2026 Ram 2500 heading westbound.
Troopers say the driver of the Buick, a 39-year-old man from Anderson, was traveling too fast for the road conditions. He was not wearing a seatbelt and suffered fatal injuries in the crash.
He was pronounced dead at the scene by Dr. Pace at 12:24 p.m. and was transported by Freeman Ambulance to Ozark Funeral Home in Anderson.
The driver of the Ram, a 54-year-old Anderson man, was also not wearing a seatbelt. His condition has not been released, but both vehicles were totaled and removed from the scene by Gardner’s Towing.
The crash remains under investigation. We extend our heartfelt condolences to the family and friends of the man who lost his life in this tragic accident.
