Missouri Car Accidents Cause Injuries Over Memorial Day Weekend
Several Missouri residents and tourists were injured in car accidents on Missouri’s state highways over the recent holiday weekend, according to an article in the Southeast Missourian.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) responded to several of these accidents, including one on the Saturday before Memorial Day at the intersection of Route W and Route Y. Four people were injured when a sixteen-year-old driver failed to yield to oncoming traffic at the intersection, causing a crash. All four were taken to local hospitals for treatment. Luckily, none of the injuries appeared to be life-threatening.
Another serious car accident in Missouri occurred on Route CC in Bollinger County early on Sunday, when a car carrying two people ran off the road just after midnight, sending both the driver and her passenger to the hospital. The driver, a seventeen-year-old woman from Leopold, Missouri, had lost control of the car on a curve. The car ran off the road and overturned, striking a utility pole in the process. Later that day, a family from Chaffee all suffered injuries when another driver turned into their path, causing a crash. The three family members, and the driver of the vehicle that hit them, all suffered minor injuries.
