Franklin County, MO (February 16, 2025) – A fatal crash on Route Y near Dissen Rd early Saturday morning resulted in one fatality and another serious injury.

According to reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred at approximately 1:20 a.m. when a 2006 Ford F-350, traveling eastbound, veered off the left side of the roadway. The vehicle proceeded through a ditch and field before crashing into a creek and striking the opposite bank.

Emergency responders from New Haven Ambulance and local authorities arrived at the scene to provide medical assistance. The 22-year-old male driver, a resident of Washington, MO, was pronounced deceased at 1:59 a.m. by New Haven Ambulance personnel. A 21-year-old male occupant from Leslie, MO, suffered serious injuries and was transported by New Haven Ambulance to Mercy Washington for further treatment.

Officials confirmed that neither the driver nor the passenger was wearing a safety device at the time of the crash. The vehicle sustained total damage and was later removed from the scene by Sturm’s Towing.

Authorities are conducting an investigation into the factors that contributed to the crash. Additional details may be released as the inquiry progresses. Our thoughts are with those affected by this tragic incident.

Fatal Car Accidents in Missouri

Missouri experiences a high rate of fatal crashes, particularly on rural roadways like Route Y. According to state crash data, single-vehicle accidents are among the leading causes of roadway fatalities. Factors such as high speeds, road conditions, and lack of seatbelt use often contribute to severe and fatal outcomes.

Franklin County has seen a rise in serious collisions, especially during late-night and early-morning hours when visibility and driver fatigue can play a role. The Missouri State Highway Patrol continues to stress the importance of seatbelt usage, as statistics indicate that a significant percentage of fatal crashes involve unrestrained drivers and passengers.

For those impacted by serious or fatal car accidents, understanding available resources is crucial. Seeking guidance can help families navigate the aftermath of a tragic crash and find support in their time of need.
