A collision involving a combine and a pickup truck has resulted in the death of a Clark County woman.

State police say 65-year-old Mary Smith of Marshall was fatally injured when her pickup truck struck a combine at 3:25pm Wednesday. The crash occurred on Illinois Route 1, south of Marshall. Police say the combine, driven by 73-year-old Harry Greenlee of West Union, was stopped at a stop intersection when Greenlee pulled onto the highway and the combine was struck by Smith's pickup truck.

Greenlee was not injured, nor was Smith's passenger, 80-year-old Ralph Smith of Marshall. Greenlee was cited for failure to yield.

State police and the Clark County Coroner's Office are investigating the crash.
