State police say Bridget Burgoon was driving east on the highway in a 2007 Chevy Colorado when she lost control of her car and spun into the path of an oncoming 2021 Chevy Silverado. On the spot, Burgoon was said to be dead.
She turned 20. The Silverado driver, who was 43 years old, had minor injuries and was taken to a hospital in Sedalia by ambulance.
