According to information released from Gainesville Schools Wednesday morning, one of their students, identified in a later release and by other media sources as 16-year-old Andrea Winrod, died in a traffic crash on Tuesday.
According to the report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred around 7:00 pm when the vehicle driven by the victim failed to stop at a stop sign at an intersection on Highway 5 north of Gainesville and was hit by a pick-up truck.
