Nicholas C. Helton, 21, of Rosebud, was killed in a two-car accident west of Spring Bluff at 2:20 a.m. Saturday. Both vehicles were eastbound on Route AC, 3.8 miles west of Hwy. 185 in Franklin County.
According to the Missouri Highway Patrol, Helton, who was driving a 1995 Ford Escort, was traveling too fast for conditions and skidded into the rear of a 2002 Dodge Dakota driven by Craig W. Stack, 20, of Bourbon.
Stack's vehicle overturned and came to rest on the north side of Route AC.
