Speed, failure to negotiate curve leads to deadly crash on Hwy. V 

DE SOTO, MO – Two adult drivers were killed and a 3-year-old toddler was sent to the hospital following a two-car crash that happened on Highway V on Tuesday.

Missouri State Highway Patrol told Fox2Now that the collision happened before 9 p.m. north of Weathered Stone Drive. Preliminary details indicate that a 26-year-old man (local to De Soto) was driving a Dodge Dakota and was speeding while traveling on southbound Missouri Route V.

The Dodge driver had failed to negotiate a curve, which caused him to drift to the right side of the road. He overcorrected, went over the double solid yellow line, and crashed into the left side of a northbound Hyundai Elantra.

The force of the crash caused the Hyundai to skid, drift off the road, and overturn. The Hyundai driver, a 30-year-old woman from Hillsboro, was ejected from her car. In addition, her car caught on fire.

The two drivers died from their injuries at the scene, and the Hyundai passenger, a 3-year-old toddler, sustained minor injuries.

EMS crews transported the young child to a hospital for treatment. First responders confirmed the toddler was wearing a seatbelt, and the drivers were not.

No other details were reported.
