According to officials, a 40-year-old Neosho man was driving eastbound when he lost control and entered the westbound lane. The car was then struck by a westbound vehicle driven by a 50-year-old Horicon man and occupied by his 11-year-old son.

The Neosho man was transported to a nearby hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The other driver and his child were treated and released from the hospital.
