According to authorities, the accident happened when a 2005 Buick LaSabre was stopped in the eastbound lanes, attempting to make a left-hand turn. A 2014 Ford F-150, also traveling eastbound, collided with a 2013 Smart Car, which was pushed into the Buick. The force of the impact caused the Buick to veer off the roadway.

Car Accidents in Missouri
Car accidents in Missouri, especially those involving multiple vehicles, can pose serious risks to drivers and passengers. Many collisions occur at intersections, often due to rear-end impacts when vehicles fail to stop in time. In this case, the accident stemmed from one vehicle striking another, which led to a chain reaction and forced one car off the roadway.
Missouri law requires drivers to maintain a safe following distance to prevent rear-end crashes, particularly when other vehicles are slowing or stopping for turns. Inattentive driving, speeding, or poor road conditions can increase the likelihood of these incidents.
Victims of crashes may face medical bills, vehicle repairs, and lost income while recovering. Seeking medical care immediately and documenting accident details are crucial steps in ensuring proper recovery and legal protection.
