A Clark woman was killed in a two-vehicle accident that occurred Thursday morning in Boone County.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reports that a westbound 20003 Chevy Trailblazer, driven by 88-year-old Betty J. Smith of Clark, Mo., attempted to cross the southbound lanes of US 63 at Route CC at 11:30 a.m., and pulled into the path of a southbound 1995 Kenworth W900.
