Sirisa T. Nelson, 26, of Lonedell died in a one-car accident Tuesday morning (Nov. 7) on Hwy. F west of Hwy. FF in Pacific, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.
At 8:33 a.m., Nelson was riding in an eastbound 1997 Ford Taurus driven by Steven A. Jeffries, 28, of Pacific, and the Taurus started to slide as it travelled around a curve in the road. Jeffries steered to the right to avoid another vehicle, and the Taurus ran off the south side of the road before overturning and striking several trees, a report said.
No injuries were reported for Jeffries.
Nelson, however, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Neither Nelson nor Jeffries was wearing a seat belt, the patrol reported.
The Taurus was extensively damaged, the report said.
