Three people, including a 10-year-old boy, were killed Tuesday in a violent head-on crash on Highway 100 near Dundee Road in Franklin County. Investigators say a 2011 Nissan Sentra crossed the center line and slammed into a westbound 2020 Ford Explorer. Two people in the Sentra were pronounced dead at the scene, and the child later died at St. Louis Children’s Hospital. The Explorer’s driver, a 70-year-old woman from New Haven, survived with what authorities described as moderate injuries.
