Not only is driving under the influence against the law, it is dangerous. Drunk driving accidents are some of the most preventable — and more often than not, predictable — crashes. Each year, a significant number of people here in Missouri die because someone else decided to get behind the wheel of a car after drinking and without any regard…
Few Missouri drivers like having to follow a slower, larger vehicle. It can easily make the best of drivers impatient and irritated. However, impatience combined with irritation can sometimes cause drivers to make mistakes that lead to rollover accidents. Irritation and impatience may have had a hand in a recent accident on Interstate 70. Shortly before 9:45 p.m., a vehicle…
Despite the vast amount of information available regarding the dangers of drinking and driving, some Missouri motorists persist in doing so. After consuming enough alcohol to become inebriated, they get behind the wheels of their cars and risk the lives of everyone they encounter on the roadways.

It can be disconcerting for Missouri residents to see an accident in which a vehicle has flipped. This is, in part, because in some rollover accidents, the occupants are ejected.

Sadly, many motorcycle accidents in Missouri are fatal. These accidents leave the victims more exposed to external injuries because those on a motorcycle do not have the same type of protection as people in an enclosed motor vehicle. Hit-and-run accidents are serious under any circumstances, but when a death is involved, the person deemed responsible may face both criminal and…
Fatal accidents on Missouri roadways happen all too frequently. Recently, two occurred in as many days. The first was a head-on collision between a pickup truck and a car that happened on a Friday. The pickup was headed east on Highway 32 whose driver was in the process of passing another vehicle in the eastbound lane. In doing so, he hit…
