POPLAR BLUFF, MO – Three people were sent to the hospital, and a 34-year-old woman was killed in a multi-vehicle wreck on E-Business U.S. Highway 60 around 7:45 p.m. Friday. Missouri State Highway Patrol Troopers said the 34-year-old woman – Zea Hawley of Poplar Bluff – operated a 2004 Chevrolet Cavalier when she hit a 2016 Honda Pilot.
