Two Montgomery County residents were killed in a head-on collision in Franklin County.

The Highway Patrol said the crash happened Tuesday afternoon around 4:40 on Missouri Route 100, about a tenth of a mile west of Grant School Road.

Troopers said 21-year-old Austin Vanbooven was driving eastbound on Route 100 when he crossed the center line and hit another car head-on. That car was driven by 27-year-old Amanda Witthaus.

Both were pronounced dead on the scene.

Friends and family have started a storify page to remember the two.
