VALLE, MO – Two drivers died in a two-vehicle collision on State Highway V near Weathered Stone Drive on Wednesday, according to FOX 2 Now.
A 26-year-old man was driving a Dodge Dakota south on State Highway V as a 30-year-old woman was driving a Hyundai Elantra north.

Following the collision, the Dakota skidded on the road and overturned. The driver was ejected. The Hyundai went off the right side of the road and caught on fire.
First responders pronounced both drivers dead at the scene. A 3-year-old child was hospitalized with minor injuries.
The child was wearing a seatbelt. The two drivers were not.
