2 killed in Morgan County crash

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Two people were killed in a three-vehicle crash Tuesday morning in Morgan County on Highway 50 near Old Highway 50, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The report says a 2013 Mercedes-Benz Class S – driven by an 18-year-old man from Sedalia – was heading eastbound when it rear-ended a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt driven by a 48-year-old Cole Camp woman.

The hit pushed the Chevrolet into the oncoming lane, which caused another crash into a 2012 Mazda 3 – driven by a 38-year-old Russellville man, the report says.

The Russellville man was pronounced dead at the scene and the passenger and driver of the Chevrolet were flown to University Hospital with serious injuries. The passenger – a 45-year-old Versailles man – was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The driver of the Mercedes was wearing a seatbelt, but no one else in the crash wore one, the report says. The Mazda and Chevrolet were totaled, while the Mercedes had moderate damage, according to the report.

MSHP reports do not name those involved in crashes.
