Police have identified the child killed in a two-car collision Sunday south of Eudora as 7-year-old Madison Smith of Lawrence.

Madison was a passenger in a westbound 1998 Nissan Maxima driven by her mother, Debby, 41, that collided with a northbound 2004 Chevrolet Impala about 1:45 p.m. Sunday at the intersection of County Road 1061 and North 1100 Road.

Investigators believe Madison was riding in a car seat behind the driver’s seat but had unbuckled herself to put her shoes on moments before the collision, said Lt. Kenny Massey, a Douglas County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.

The wreck happened when the Smiths’ car failed to stop at a stop sign, Massey said.

“We’re not sure whether Debby Smith didn’t see the stop sign or just what the circumstances were,” Massey said. “It appears that a stop was not made at this time.”

Debby Smith suffered head injuries and was flown by helicopter to University of Kansas Hospital, Kansas City, Kan. Her 9-year-old daughter, Megan, suffered minor injuries.

The driver of the Chevrolet, 48-year-old Steven Parsons of Parkville, Mo., was not injured, but his wife, Annette, 41, was flown to University of Kansas Hospital with unknown injuries, Massey said.
