Laura McClendon, 30, wasn’t wearing a seatbelt when her car collided with Kathleen Brady’s minivan on a Smithville, Mo., highway Wednesday, The Kansas City Star reported.
Brady, a local schoolteacher, started “sneezing violently” just before she hit the single mother’s car head-on.

This is not the first time a bout of sneezing had led to a fatal accident.
Last year, a driver lost control of his vehicle and slammed it into a tree in Salisbury, Md., when he had a sneezing fit. His passenger died.
