An 81-year-old woman from Oak Grove, Missouri, died Thursday in a crash on Highway 50 in Pettis County at Chevalier Road, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The report says the woman was heading northbound and failed to stop at a stop sign with her 2021 Lexus QX. The vehicle went into the path of a 2023 GMC Yukon – driven by a 29-year-old man from Warsaw, Missouri – and was hit by the GMC in its side, the report says.
The GMC ended up in the median, while the Lexus went off the right side of the road, according to the report. The woman was pronounced dead at the scene and her body was brought to Heckart Funeral Home in Sedalia, the report says.
The report does not say if the woman wore a seatbelt, but the driver of the GMC did not wear one. The Lexus was totaled, while the GMC had extensive damage, according to the report. The driver of the GMC had no reported injuries.
