Boone County Crash Kills One Harrisburg Man, Injures Another

One Harrisburg man was killed and another one injured in a one-vehicle crash that occurred Saturday in Boone County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a northbound 2007 GMC Sierra, driven by 29-year-old David L. Williams of Harrisburg, was on Route J, north of Drane Road around 12:15 a.m., when the GMC traveled off the right side of the roadway. The driver overcorrected, causing the vehicle to travel off the left side, where it struck a fence and overturned, ejecting the driver and passenger, who were not wearing seat belts, according to the report.

His passenger, 27-year-old Corry M. Crowley of Harrisburg, was pronounced dead at the scene by Boone County Fire Protection District personnel. The body was taken to Parker-Millard Funeral Service and Crematory in Columbia.
