A Sedalia woman was seriously injured in a head-on collision on U.S. Highway 50 the evening of Thursday, January 15th.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol says the crash occurred as a vehicle driven by a 27-year-old Sedalia woman began traveling eastbound in the westbound lanes of Highway 50 and struck a vehicle driven by a 69-year-old Alma woman head-on at 7:10 p.m. The Sedalia woman’s vehicle then went off the right side of the roadway. The collision was reported just east of Muddy Creek.
