CALDWELL COUNTY —One person died in an accident during a police chase just before 7a.m. Monday in Caldwell County.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported a 2015 Mazda 3 driven by Sheila G. Roesch, 46, Overland Park, was northbound on MO 13 two miles north of Kingston, being pursued by law enforcement at a high rate of speed.
The car traveled through a construction barrier, off the east side of the road, struck a vertical light trailer, traveled down an embankment and caught fire.
Roesch was pronounced dead at the scene. The Caldwell County Cororner transported her to Bram Funeral Home in Hamilton.
In June, Roesch was jailed in Johnson County on a requested charge of aggravated domestic battery, according to online jail records.
