Woman injured, ejected from vehicle

A Scott City woman was seriously injured after the sport utility vehicle she was driving struck a delivery truck Tuesday in Sikeston. At 9:41 a.m., officers with Sikeston Department of Public Safety responded to a two-vehicle accident at Pine/Colonel George E. Day streets in Sikeston, according to DPS reports. A preliminary investigation indicates the woman failed to yield as she was traveling northbound on Brunt Boulevard, said Lt. Austin Henley with Sikeston DPS. According to a witness, the woman failed to stop and hit a delivery truck, which was traveling eastbound on Colonel George E. Day Boulevard, just behind the passenger side door. The delivery truck drove up over the top of the woman’s vehicle, spun it around and ejected her from her SUV, Henley said. No one was injured in the delivery truck. The 29-year-old female driver was flown to Barnes-Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. An infant who was in the female’s vehicle was transported to Missouri Delta Medical Center in Sikeston for treatment.
