A 40-year-old Princeton man died after his car ran off the road, off a wooden bridge, and landed on its top at the bottom of a creek near Blythedale.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says Steven McReynolds died at the scene, about a mile northeast of Blythedale.

The patrol reports McReynolds was traveling west on 162nd Street Monday night when his car went off the north side of the road and drove off a wooden bridge, overturning on its top, coming to rest upside down at the bottom of the creek.
