A 25-year-old Warrenton man was killed in a motorcycle crash early Saturday morning on Highway O south of Too Long Lane.
Derek J. Hughes was pronounced dead on scene by Warren County Deputy Coroner Dean Jackson shortly after 3:30 a.m. according to the accident report filed by the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The accident report says Hughes was driving his 2000 Suzuki GSX-R600 northbound when he failed to negotiate a curve, traveled off the road and struck a culvert.
Hughes’ body was taken to Martin Funeral Home. The motorcycle, which suffered extensive damage, was taken from the scene by Approved Towing.
The Warren County Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene.
