A St. Joseph resident died in a crash early Friday morning on Felix Street.

According to Sgt. Wayne Byrom with the St. Joseph Police Department, just after 1 a.m., a St. Joseph man was driving a minivan when he lost control of the vehicle in the 2600 block of Felix Street, went off the road and hit a tree.

The driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. Two passengers were transported to Mosaic Life Care, one with moderate injuries and one with life threatening injuries.

Byrom said it appears none of the occupants were wearing seatbelts.

The cause of the crash is still being investigated but Byrom said speed may have played a factor.
