A head-on auto accident in Osage County recently left seven people injured and claimed the life of one of the drivers involved in the crash, according to a recent news report from KSDK.
The crash occurred on US Highway 63 near Westphalia.

Her two passengers, both children, also suffered severe injuries. One of the children was thrown from the car along with the driver.
The driver of the car in the opposite lane was also severely injured in the accident.
