A Kirksville man was killed in a single-vehicle crash that happened early Friday morning, on U.S. 63, two miles north of LaPlata. The Missouri State Highway patrol says 21 year old Trevor Benda was driving a Chevy Cobalt at 3:30 a.m. Friday when the vehicle went off the right side of the road, hit an enbankment, and overturned into a pond. Benda was pronounced dead at University of Missouri Hospital in Columbia about five hours after the crash. He was not wearing a seat belt.
