Clay County, Mo. — Two men from Missouri City were killed and a young woman from Excelsior Springs was seriously injured in a head-on crash early Saturday morning in Clay County, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Troopers reported the crash happened at 5:43 a.m. Sept. 6 on Highway 210 west of Bluff Road. Investigators say a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu driven by an 18-year-old woman from Excelsior Springs crossed the center line and struck a 2003 Ford F-150 head-on. Both vehicles were totaled.
The 62-year-old male driver of the pickup was transported to North Kansas City Hospital, where he was pronounced dead by a doctor shortly after arrival. A 60-year-old male passenger in the truck was pronounced dead at the scene by Liberty Fire Department paramedics. Neither man was wearing a seatbelt.
The driver of the Malibu sustained serious injuries and, after extraction from the vehicle, was taken to North Kansas City Hospital.
