A fatal accident claimed the life of a Parnell man Wednesday night at around 7:00 p.m. The Missouri Highway Patrol reports that a 1991 Ford Ranger driven by Emmett O’Riley, 66, of Parnell was northbound on Route E .3 of a mile south of Gaynor and a 2003 Chevy pickup driven by Cole Fisher, 18, of Sheridan, was southbound. The O’Riley vehicle traveled off the east side of the roadway into the ditch, overcorrected, and lost control.
The O’Riley vehicle returned to the roadway, traveled across the center line, and into the southbound lane and was struck by the Fisher vehicle. The O’Riley vehicle overturned coming to rest off the west side of the roadway on the driver’s side facing northeast. The Fisher vehicle traveled off the west side of the roadway and came to rest on its wheels in a field. O’Riley was pronounced dead by Deputy Coroner Steve Whittington. Fisher sustained minor injuries and refused treatment.
