February 9, 2010 - At 7:45 am, Rosemarie M Rempfer, 24, of Wheatland, Missouri was driving a Ford Escort Northbound on MO State Road 83 in Hickory County, Missouri. A second vehicle, a 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup, driven by Angelique E. Butler, 28, also of Wheatland, Missouri was driving Southbound in the opposite direction just north of Elkton when the ice covered roads caused a fatal accident.

Butler lost control of her truck on a patch of ice causing her truck to slide across the centerline. The truck t-boned the Escort and both vehicles came to rest on the east side of the roadway. Rempfer, who was not wearing her seatbelt, was pronounced dead at 8:20 am. Butler, who was wearing her seatbelt sustained only minor injuries.
