Callista Fisher Dies in a Car Accident

The Missouri Highway Patrol is investigating a deadly three-vehicle crash involving a Willard School District bus.

Investigators say one driver, 17, died in the crash. The other two drivers suffered injuries. Willard School District leaders report no kids were on the bus at the time of the crash.

The crash happened around 4:30 p.m. on State Highway 266 near State Highway AB. Investigators say the driver of an SUV pulled out of the parking lot of a Dollar General into the path of the westbound school bus. The collision forced the driver of the school bus to cross the center line, hitting the teenage driver in a pickup truck head-on. She died at the scene.

The school bus also hit a utility pole. Investigators closed the area at the crash scene because of downed wires.

The Willard School District released a statement to KY3 News:

“It is with deep sadness that we write to inform you of the death of Willard High School senior Callista Fisher. We extend our heartfelt sympathy to her friends and family and ask that you please keep her friends and family in your thoughts and prayers.

Tomorrow morning, WHS students will be read a statement informing them of Callista’s passing and to let them know of the resources available to help them grieve. Our crisis team of counselors will be on-site at WHS tomorrow and as long as needed to help students and employees process this great loss.

Our hearts are heavy, and we would like to extend our deepest condolences to all those affected during this incredibly difficult time.”
