INDEPENDENCE, Mo. — Police in Independence are trying to find out what caused a deadly crash early Monday morning.

According to Independence police, a person was driving a Chevrolet eastbound on 23rd Street around 12:20 a.m. Monday, when they crashed into a railroad bridge west of Noland Road.

The driver died and was the only person in the car. Police said it seems that the driver was not wearing a seatbelt, but the crash is still under investigation. They also believe alcohol was a contributing factor.

Police say 43-year-old Daniel S. Nelson, who lived in the city, was the man that died that morning.

Nelson was known for painting his face red and yellow for Kansas City Chiefs games and dying his beard those colors too. Nelson’s nickname, according to fellow Super fan Lynn “Weirdwolf” Schmidt, was “Da Beard.”
