Visitation For Woman In Dragging Death In Springfield

Visitation will be Friday night for a woman who was dragged by a car in Springfield before Thanksgiving.

Barbara Foster, 57, was from Springfield.

She was run over by a car near Campbell and University.

Her visitation will be at Greenlawn Funeral Home North on north National.

Elizabeth McKeown, 46, is also from Springfield.

She’s charged with first-degree murder in Foster’s death.

Court records say McKeown told Springfield Police she was on her way to make a car payment when she pulled up behind Foster.

She says Foster’s car didn’t move, so she “nudged it” before she hit it “full-out”.

When Foster got out of her car to inspect the damage, McKeown told police she backed up her Mustang and hit Foster, “cutting her in half”.

Foster was dragged 60-feet.

She died at the hospital.

McKeown hit another car a short distance away at Campbell and Sunshine.

When she tried to get away, witnesses boxed her in until police arrived.
