SMITHTON, Mo. (AP) -- Four people died and two were seriously injured as the result of a head-on crash in central Missouri.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash happened Friday night when an eastbound car attempted to pass a tractor-trailer and collided with a westbound car on U.S. 50 in Morgan County.
The patrol says the eastbound car's driver, 22-year-old Kelsey Toebben, of Jefferson City, was pronounced dead at the scene. Her 25-year-old passenger, Justin Gaddis, of Knob Noster, died at a hospital.
Also killed at the scene were the westbound car's 42-year-old driver, Philip Allen, and a 44-year-old passenger, Carin Allen, both of Rolla.
The patrol says 12-year-old Corinna Allen in the westbound car was flown to a Kansas City hospital, and 14-year-old Patrick Allen was taken by ambulance to a Columbia hospital.
