More details released in Truman Lake crash that claimed two lives

According to a report filed by the Missouri Highway Patrol, on Friday evening a 2012 Dodge Avenger  crossed into the path of a 2013 Chevrolet Tahoe resulting in a head-on collision on Mile Long Bridge over Truman Lake around 8:45 pm.

The Tahoe, driven by a 26 year old Clinton man then went over the guardrail and plunged into the water below while the Avenger, driven by a 44 year old Clinton woman, came to rest on the bridge.

Both victims were pronounced dead at the scene a short time later and the bridge remained partially closed for an extended time on Saturday as the investigation was ongoing.

Due to a policy change, the MSHP no longer provides names of crash victims.
