COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A 29-year-old Rolla woman died in a crash on Sunday in the 21000 block of Route J in Phelps County, according to a Missouri State Highway crash report.

The report says the crash occurred when a 2005 Toyota Camry – driven by a 21-year-old Rolla man – was heading southbound when it went off the right side of the road.

The driver overcorrected, causing the vehicle to go off the left side of the road, the report says. The driver overcorrected again and went off the right side of the road, causing the Toyota to hit a fence and tree, the report says.

The woman was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:40 p.m. by the Phelps County Coroner, the report says. Neither person in the vehicle wore a seatbelt, according to the report.

The man had serious injuries and was brought to Phelps Health in Rolla by ambulance, according to the report. The woman’s body was brought to Rolla Cremation and Memorial.
