Harrisonville teenager killed in two-vehicle crash on Interstate 49 in Cass County
A 19-year-old Harrisonville woman was killed Tuesday in a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 49 near Missouri Route J in Cass County, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol.
The highway patrol identified the woman as Cora Graham.
The wreck occurred just before 4 p.m. Tuesday in the southbound lanes of the interstate near Peculiar and involved a car and a tractor-trailer, the patrol said.
The patrol said that a tractor-trailer driven by a Texas man was stopped because of traffic congestion due to a previous crash when Graham’s car ran into the rear of the truck.
Southbound traffic along the interstate was being diverted while investigators collected evidence and interviewed witnesses.
