MSHP said Claudia T. Cornman, 37, of Valle Mines was sitting in a 2000 Mazda 626 on westbound Montauk Drive at the intersection of US 67. A 2011 Kia Sorento, driven by Laura Gale, 45, of DeSoto, was traveling northbound on US 67 heading towards Montauk Drive when she pulled the vehicle to the right side of the road to pave way for an emergency vehicle.
