Churchill, Mark -

Mark Churchill, 31, of Bedford, was killed Monday morning in a two-vehicle accident five miles north of Maryville.

Churchill, the father of two young children, was enroute to the first day of class in Northwest Missouri State University's spring

semester at the time of the accident. A passenger in the car, Lea A. Scroggie, 20, of Bedford, suffered a fractured shoulder in the

accident.

The fatal accident occurred within 30 minutes of another serious accident on Highway 146 north of Maryville. That earlier

accident, which left a Maryville man seriously injured, played a role in the sad set of circumstances that led to Churchill's mishap.

Churchill and Miss Scroggie were enroute to college classes when they discovered the road was blocked from the earlier accident.

They apparently reversed direction at the Highway 148-Route CC curve just north of Maryville and were northbound when the accident occurred.

A 1972 Dodge pickup truck driven by Linda K. Smith, 24, Pickering, was the other vehicle involved in the fatality accident.

According to the Missouri State Patrol accident report, Mrs. Smith was southbound on 148 when she was forced to swerve her pickup in

an attempt to miss another turning vehicle. The Smith pickup then skidded sideways into the northbound lane into the path of the

1974 Toyota driven by Churchill.

The Nodawuy County Sheriffs Department received a report of the accident at 7:59 a.m. (the Missouri State Patrol report and several

media reports incorrectly indicated the accident occurred before 7 a.m.

Churchill, who was most recently employed at Bedford Super Valu grocery story, was pronounced dead on arrival at St. Francis Hospital in Maryville. Both he and Miss Scroggie were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident, according to the accident report.

Travis Smith, a passenger in the pickup truck and husband of the driver, was seriously injured. The accident report indicated he suffered a concussion, fractured right leg, fractured back and fractured right arm.
