Carthage, MO (October 3, 2024) – A traffic accident occurred on October 2, 2024, at approximately 5:00 PM on Route HH, 0.4 miles west of Carthage. The incident involved two vehicles and prompted a response from local law enforcement and emergency services.
According to the investigation led by TPR J. Drum, the crash occurred when a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze, driven by 25-year-old Hannah R. Reed, was stopped at the top of the southbound I-49 exit ramp. As Reed attempted a left turn onto Route HH, she pulled into the path of a westbound 2012 Toyota Camry, operated by 81-year-old Monieta G. Pullara. The collision resulted in extensive damage to both vehicles, necessitating their towing from the scene by Schrader’s Towing.
Monieta Pullara sustained moderate injuries in the accident and was transported by Mercy Ambulance to Mercy Carthage for medical evaluation and treatment. Fortunately, Reed was wearing her safety device at the time of the crash, which likely mitigated potential injuries.
Our thoughts are with those affected by this accident, and we hope for a swift recovery for the injured.
