Derby woman involved in fatal Kansas City collision
A Derby woman was involved in a collision that claimed the life of a 63-year-old Merriam woman Monday in Kansas City.
Madysen Olivia Hutchinson, 18, was hospitalized with injuries. Sherry L. Miller died, the Kansas Highway Patrol said in a crash report.
According to the report, Hutchinson was northbound on the ramp connecting I-35 to I-635 when the 2006 Honda Accord she was driving left the highway, struck a grass embankment and went airborne about at 2:15 p.m. The Accord landed atop Miller’s 2011 Chevy Equinox while she was northbound on I-635 in the outside lane.
Both the car and the SUV slid to the right and hit a guard rail before stopping in the middle of the highway. It was immediately unclear what led to the crash.
