Two KC-area men dead, four injured after SUV overturns near Clinton, Mo.

Two Kansas City-area men died and four others were seriously injured Saturday afternoon when a driver lost control of his SUV and overturned on a rural road near Clinton, Mo.

Mark Harken, 20, of Prairie Village, drove his 2000 Ford Explorer off the left side of the road shortly after 2:15 p.m. The crash killed Harken and 18-year-old Clayton Miller of Kansas City, and injured four others.

Rescuers flew the surviving passengers, who are all from the Kansas City metro area, to three regional hospitals.
