DeKalb County Sheriff Killed in Accident

DeKalb County Sheriff Andrew Clark was killed in a wreck on Highway 36 and Route M one mile north of Osborn Wednesday. The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a 2019 Chevy Pickup driven by Clark (43) of Maysville was southbound on Route 33 crossing Route 36 and a 2020 GMC SUV driven by Robert Carpenter (71) of Diller (NE) was eastbound on 36 at 11:20 am. The SUV struck the passenger side of the pickup, and then both went off the south side of 36, coming to rest on their wheels facing southeast. 

Clark was taken to Mosaic in St. Joseph, where he was pronounced dead at 12:07 pm. Carpenter received moderate injuries. Three passengers, Susan Carpenter (70) of Diller (NE), Lexi Cary (17) of Beatrice (NE), and Kaylee Carpenter (17) of Beatrice (NE) all received minor injuries. 

Clark was the second sheriff in Northwest Missouri to pass away in office. The Harrison County Sheriff passed away earlier this year.
