(Reuters) - Missouri on Tuesday put to death a man convicted of murdering a 19-year-old woman he encountered in a traffic accident in 2001, in the first execution in the United States since the Supreme Court upheld the use of a lethal injection drug.

David Zink, 55, was pronounced dead at 7:41 p.m. CDT after receiving a fatal dose of drugs at a state prison, said Mike O'Connell, spokesman for the Missouri Department of Corrections.

"David Zink callously took a young woman's life, and it is fitting he pay by losing his own," Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said in a statement.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on June 29 that a drug used in lethal injections by Oklahoma, midazolam, did not violate the U.S. Constitution's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
