Tonya Maize Obituary, Death – Accident that took place in DeKalb County on Friday just after 5:30 p.m. resulted in the deaths of two people, both of whom were local citizens. Both of the victims were local residents. Tonya Maize, 52, of Union Star, Missouri, was driving a vehicle when she collided with Michael Burnett, 46, of Maysville, who was driving a freightliner in the eastbound lane of MO-6, one mile north of Amity. Maize’s vehicle was traveling in the northbound lane of Route J, and Burnett’s was traveling in the eastbound lane of MO-6.
While Maize was going in the opposite direction on Route J, Burnett was going in the opposite direction on MO-6. Take their word for it since that is what the Missouri State Highway Patrol has to say about the matter. According to the data kept by the highway police, Maize did not yield at the intersection where she was driving when she should have. Burnett made an effort to avoid colliding with Maize’s vehicle, but in the end, the front driver’s side of Burnett’s vehicle did wind up colliding with Maize’s vehicle.
After leaving the north side of MO-6 and sliding down an embankment in the other direction after driving off the road, both vehicles came to rest on the north side of MO-6. After the collision, the vehicle that Burnett was operating rolled over, collided with a utility post, and finally came to a stop on its driver’s side. Burnett was injured as a result of the accident.
At the site in question, it was discovered that both Burnett and Maize had passed away at the same time. After being engaged in a collision, a little child from Lathrop was sent to Mosaic Life Care for treatment of injuries that were categorized as being moderate in severity. The youngster was a passenger in Maize’s vehicle, which had been involved in the incident.
At the time of the collision, each of the three people were wearing their seat belts and had them securely secured, as stated in the report from the highway patrol.
