A Peabody woman died Saturday morning in a two-car collision at Peabody Street and U.S.-50.
Ernestine Hilliard, 77, Peabody, was northbound on Peabody Street at 7:55 a.m. in a 2002 Chevrolet passenger car. She stopped at the stop sign, then pulled out in front of a 1997 Ford F-250 pickup driven by Steven P. Benewiat, 41, Halstead, that was eastbound on U.S.-50 and not required to stop.
The pickup truck struck the passenger car on the driver's side door. Hilliard died at the scene.
Benewiat and passenger Steven Burdess, 45, Leon, Iowa, were treated at the scene for bumps and bruises.
