Each year, a number of Missouri residents are killed when they are thrown out of a vehicle during an accident. Rollover accidents most likely account for an appreciable percentage of these deaths. Recently, a 21-year-old passenger in a single-car crash suffered that tragic outcome. Five people occupied the vehicle in which he was a passenger. As the car headed south…
At many Missouri intersections, only the cross traffic is required to stop. T-bone collisions occur for a variety of reasons at these intersections, but in most cases, a driver failed to obey a stop sign. Distracted driving, impairment and speed may be the most prevalent factors in these accidents, but none of these factors changes the fact that the drivers…
Many Missouri drivers rely on quick reactions to avoid becoming involved in a car accident. Unfortunately, some head-on collisions cannot be avoided despite drivers’ best efforts to avoid them. This was the case in a recent crash in which one man lost his life. The 79-year-old Missouri man was heading north on Highway 63 when a southbound vehicle crossed over…
Anyone in Missouri who recently suffered from an illness or injury most likely incurred a substantial amount of medical expenses — even with health insurance. Drivers and passengers who survive head-on collisions could be looking at a costly recovery since the injuries suffered in these motor vehicle crashes can be significant. The costs will only escalate if victims are left…
When most people picture an intoxicated driver being involved in a crash, that person’s vehicle is a car, SUV or some other vehicle with four wheels or more.

Injuries sustained in rollover accidents, for example, can be severe and even fatal due to the risk of being thrown around —…
Passing on a two-lane road is a risky maneuver. If drivers are not paying adequate attention to the flow of traffic in the oncoming lane, near head-on or head-on collisions are a distinct possibility. Drivers who fail to successfully pass on two-lane roads cause numerous crashes in Missouri each year. Two vehicles were heading in opposite directions on Route E…
When an accident occurs, Missouri law enforcement officials hope to glean as much evidence as they can from the scene. This includes making preliminary judgments regarding whether any driver involved was impaired or somehow distracted at the time of the crash. This task is more complicated in hit-and-run accidents. On a recent Saturday, police were able to locate and arrest a…
Most drivers do not set out to kill anyone when they get behind the wheel of their vehicles. However, when a Missouri resident decides to drive after consuming alcohol or drugs, he or she makes the choice to put the lives of everyone on the road with them at risk. The possibility of that driver causing a crash that takes…
When two vehicles collide, the force behind the impact often determines how severely the occupants of each vehicle are injured. This means that rear-end collisions can be just as deadly as head-on collisions — especially at highway speeds. A recent two-vehicle crash on Interstate 44 here in Missouri sadly illustrates this fact. A 39-year-old woman was traveling east on the…
