CLINTON COUNTY — A Missouri woman died in an accident just before 1:30 Monday in Clinton County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2009 Ford Escape driven by Debra D. Armstrong, 62, Kansas City, MO., was southbound in the driving lane on Interstate 35 just north of Holt.

The driver attempted to move into the passing lane and struck the front right of a southbound 2003 Toyota Camry driven by Ariel M. Prosser, 24, Kansas City, MO.

Both vehicles spun into the median. The Ford vaulted both northbound lanes of traffic, struck the guardrail and traveled over the embankment.

Armstrong was not wearing a seat belt and was pronounced dead at the scene. Prosser was not injured.
