A De Soto woman was hurt in a two-vehicle crash Saturday morning, July 16, on Hwy. 61-67 at Marble Springs Road in Pevely.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported that Frankie Ruch, 29, of Pevely was driving a 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe with the vehicle’s emergency lights active north on Hwy. 61-67 south of Marble Springs Road at 10:40 a.m. while Lisa Norton, 53, of De Soto was driving a 2015 Chevrolet Colorado south on Hwy. 61-67 and was north of Marble Springs Road when she began to slow and steered to the right to yield to the Tahoe. Ruch turned left onto Marble Springs Road and into the path of the Colorado, and the front of the Colorado hit the right side of the Tahoe. The Tahoe began spinning clockwise, while the Colorado ran off the right side of the road.
The report made no mention of an injury to either driver, but a passenger in the Colorado, Megan Przygoda, 33, of De Soto, sustained moderate injuries and she was taken by Joachim-Plattin Ambulance to Mercy Hospital Jefferson in Crystal City, the report said.
An update on her condition was not available.
Norton was wearing a seat belt, but neither Ruch nor Przygoda were, the report said.
The Colorado was totaled while the Tahoe had moderate damage, according to the report.
