A 58-year-old woman from Buffalo, Missouri, died Thursday afternoon in a head-on crash on U.S. 65 in Dallas County, the Missouri State Highway Patrol said.
Troopers said the crash happened a little after 3 p.m. nearly six miles north of Buffalo. An SUV crossed the center line and struck the woman’s car head-on. Both vehicles left the west side of the roadway and came to rest in a ditch.
The woman was not wearing a seat belt and died in the crash. The SUV driver, a 59-year-old man from Lincoln, was flown by air ambulance to Mercy Springfield with moderate injuries. He was wearing a seat belt.
The crash is the 100th traffic fatality in Troop D’s coverage area this year, the patrol said. The incident was reported by KY3.
