Mark A. Armentrout, 56, was killed Sunday evening in an all-terrain vehicle accident on Route KK in Elmo.
According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Armentrout, who had an Elmo address, was southbound when he crossed the center line as the rear of his 2008 Kawasaki 450R started to spin counterclockwise.
The muffler of the vehicle struck a ditch causing the four-wheeled ATV to overturn, ejecting the driver, who was not wearing a helmet.
The patrol report stated that the vehicle came to rest on its wheels on the east side of the roadway facing south.
Armentrout was pronounced dead at the scene at 6:34 p.m. by Nodaway County Coroner Vince Shelby. The body was transported to Bram-Danfelt Funeral Home in Maryville.
