A Plato man died Monday morning from injuries sustained in an ATV crash north of Evening Shade the previous evening.
Dead is Donald Pate, 71, who died at Cox South in Springfield.
Tpr. Myron Downey said a 2010 Honda ATV driven by Claude G. Von Plueren, 63, of Plato, slowed to make a left turn when a 2004 Honda ATV driven by Pate struck it in the rear. The impact caused the Pate-operated ATV to overturn, ejecting him, Downey said.
Pate was taken to Fort Leonard Wood General Hospital and later transferred.
