Two People Injured in Car Crash on I-35 near Eagleville, Missouri
Two people were injured in a crash on I-35 near Eagleville, Missouri on Sunday, June 19, according to a report on newspressnow.com. The accident happened when another vehicle attempted to make a U-turn on the interstate. In an attempt to avoid hitting the turning vehicle, the driver swerved and lost control of the vehicle, veering off the road into a ditch.
Location of the accident:
The car contained two people, who were both taken to a nearby hospital but their injuries were not deemed to be serious by medical personnel. Police note that one of them was wearing a seatbelt at the time of the crash but the other was not.
An accident like this is a classic case of negligent driving. Unfortunately for them, the authorities did not find the car that made the U-turn. On many interstate highways, U-turns like the one that caused this accident are illegal. One reason for this is because it is often hard to judge the speed of other vehicles on the interstate. It can also be dangerous to accelerate from a stop in front of other vehicles travelling on the interstate because they are travelling at such high speeds.
Regardless of the illegality of U-turns on I-35, the driver in this accident would likely have a claim against the U-turning driver because it was their poorly timed U-turn that led to the accident.
After a serious accident like this one, it is important to talk to an attorney that is experienced with car crashes.
