Meanwhile, 55-year-old Alfred M. Cockrum was headed southbound in a 2010 Ford F150. As Bozhko turned right out of the private drive, they crossed the center line and impacted with Cockrum in the F150, causing the crash. The F150 then ran off the roadway, leaving passenger Stephanie A. Cockrum moderately injured before being taken to Western Missouri Medical Center via EMS. None of the three vehicle occupants were wearing seat belts at the time of the crash.
