Traffic Accidents in Missouri
Urban traffic crashes, such as Monday’s on N Chippewa Dr, often occur in residential and mixed-traffic neighborhoods where speed limits are lower but vehicle and pedestrian activity is higher. Collisions in these areas can still lead to significant injuries due to the close proximity of homes, driveways, and intersections.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, contributing factors in neighborhood collisions often include distracted driving, failure to yield, and unsafe backing or turning maneuvers. Even at slower speeds, crashes can cause serious harm to drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
