St. Louis Car Crash Lawyer: Three Injured in Two-Car Crash
Three people were seriously injured when a Missouri driver lost control of his SUV near Portageville in New Madrid County. Authorities say that the driver of the SUV slid across lanes to collide head-on with a pick-up truck. After the initial collision, the SUV rolled several times until it came to rest on its side in a roadside field.
There were two occupants in the SUV, and the driver of the truck was alone. All three people were seriously injured and rushed to area hospitals for emergency treatment. All three remain in critical condition.
According to a report published by CNN, SUVs cause more harm to the occupants of the vehicles than other kinds of automobiles. Even worse: the weight and size of SUVs can cause much worse damage to passenger or compact cars in a collision. Finally, because of the weight distribution of SUVs, they are much more prone to rollovers than other vehicles. A rollover accident has greater potential for serious injury because the potential direction of impact to the human body is from all directions. In short, SUVs are potentially extremely dangerous vehicles when negligently driven. They are simply capable of more damage when involved in a crash.
The two people in Tuesday morning’s car crash were severely injured when their SUV rolled, and the driver of the truck was the unlucky victim of their negligence behind the wheel.
