An Aurora woman was killed and five other people injured in a two-vehicle collision at 9:15 a.m. Wednesday on Route ZZ, two miles west of Marionville in Lawrence County, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

One of the drivers involved, Sharon A. Brookshire, 66, was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lawrence County coroner, the patrol said.

Three passengers in her vehicle — George D. Brookshire, 60; Lincoln E. Brookshire, 6; and Lila M. Brookshire, age not available — were taken to Cox Medical Center South in Springfield with moderate to serious injuries, the patrol said. The driver of the second car, John A. Roper, 51, of Marionville, was taken to Mercy Hospital Springfield while his passenger, Claire M. Hull, 73, also of Marionville, was taken to Cox South.

Roper's Dodge Dakota was westbound on Route ZZ and Brookshire's Toyota Sequoia was northbound on County Road 1210 when Brookshire attempted to turn left and pulled into the path of Roper's truck.
