It happened at the intersection with Flamewood Road on late Wednesday morning.

WASHINGTON COUNTY, MO – A 59-year-old woman from Potosi died following a three-vehicle crash late Wednesday morning near Cadet, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The collision took place at the intersection with Flamewood Road at around 11:20 a.m.

Officials said a 48-year-old Irondale man was driving a 2008 Mercedes GL-Class northbound on MO-21 at the same time a 21-year-old Bonne Terre woman was operating a 2008 Ford F150 northbound on the highway. At one point, the Mercedes veered past the centerline of the roadway, hitting the front-end of an oncoming 2016 Chevrolet Traverse driven by the 59-year-old Potosi woman. The Mercedes then re-entered the northbound lane and traveled into the direct path of the Ford F150, causing the pickup to hit the right side of the Mercedes.

EMS personnel pronounced the driver of the Chevrolet Traverse deceased at the scene.

The decedent’s passenger, a 59-year-old Potosi man, was transported to Washington County Memorial Hospital, along with three occupants from the Mercedes: the 48-year-old driver, who was moderately injured, as well as a 34-year-old Irondale woman and a 37-year-old Cuba resident, both of whom were described as seriously injured.

No further details have been made available at this time, but all occupants were wearing their seatbelts at the time of the crash.
