Newton, MO (November 7, 2024) – A serious multi-vehicle accident occurred on MO 43, approximately 4.5 miles north of Seneca, at around 7:52 PM on November 6, 2024. Emergency responders were called to the scene following reports of a collision involving three vehicles.
Preliminary investigations indicate that a 2010 Ford Edge, driven by a 38-year-old female from Joplin, MO, attempted to pass a tractor-trailer but was unable to complete the maneuver. As a result, the Ford Edge struck a 2019 Honda Civic, operated by a 28-year-old male from Miami, OK, which was traveling southbound. The impact caused the Honda Civic to be declared a total loss and it was subsequently towed by Doug’s Wrecker. Following this collision, a 2003 Honda Accord, driven by a 52-year-old female from Carthage, MO, struck the rear of the Honda Civic, leading to significant damage and the Accord also being towed by Chuck’s Towing.
Emergency medical services arrived promptly at the scene. The driver of the Honda Accord sustained moderate injuries and was transported by a private vehicle to Mercy Joplin for further evaluation and treatment. Fortunately, the drivers of the Ford Edge and Honda Civic did not report any injuries.
The accident prompted a response from local law enforcement, including the Newton County Sheriff’s Department and Seneca Fire, who assisted in managing the scene and conducting the investigation.
