Blue Springs Car Crash Injured Police Officer When Her Cruiser Rolled Over

A Missouri car accident left a police officer injured after she lost control of her vehicle. The Blue Springs officer was in route to assist other officers in a foot chase when she lost control of her car on South Outer Road. The officer was driving at high speeds when she hit a curb, and rolled the car over near Missouri 7.

The Kansas City Star reported, her car rolled down the embankment and rolled over twice. She was immediately taken to the hospital and treated for injuries.

Car accidents, like this one, regularly result from increased speeds and loss of control. The faster a car is going, the harder it is to control, and the more severe the damages in the event of a car accident.

Missouri car accident statistics, according to Missouri State Highway Patrol compilations, revealed that over 40% of all fatal Missouri automobile accidents in 2007 involved speeding. The majority of all Missouri car crashes, averaging over 15,000 per month, are speed-related. Because many of these accidents involve injuries, and even death, car accident lawsuits frequently arise.
