Phelps, MO (November 26, 2024) – A pedestrian accident occurred at 10:32 PM on Highway T, approximately 0.25 miles south of Doolittle, involving a 2018 GMC Acadia and a 33-year-old male pedestrian. The driver, a 16-year-old male from Newburg, MO, was traveling northbound when he struck the pedestrian, who was walking in the roadway. The driver of the GMC Acadia was unharmed and drove the vehicle from the scene. The pedestrian, however, sustained serious injuries and was immediately flown by Phelps Air to University Hospital in Columbia for further treatment.

Emergency responders, including those from Phelps Air, acted quickly to provide medical care to the pedestrian. The cause of the crash is under investigation by the Missouri State Highway Patrol. Authorities have yet to determine the circumstances leading to the pedestrian being in the roadway, but they are working to gather additional details.

Our thoughts are with the injured pedestrian and their family during this difficult time, and we hope for a full recovery. The Missouri State Highway Patrol is investigating this incident and is seeking any additional information that may assist in understanding what led to the accident.

Pedestrian Accidents in Missouri

Pedestrian accidents remain a significant concern on Missouri’s roadways, especially at night or in areas where visibility is limited. The crash on Highway T highlights the risks pedestrians face when walking in or near roadways, particularly in rural areas where traffic may not expect to encounter individuals on foot. In this case, the pedestrian was walking in the road when struck by a vehicle, which is a reminder for all pedestrians to exercise caution when on or near roadways, especially after dark.

For drivers, this incident emphasizes the need for heightened awareness, particularly when driving in areas with limited lighting or where pedestrians may be present. It is essential for drivers to remain vigilant and adhere to speed limits, as well as to be prepared to stop for pedestrians in the road.

As Missouri’s roads continue to see both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, it is crucial for all individuals to be aware of their surroundings and take steps to prevent accidents. The Missouri State Highway Patrol’s investigation into this incident will hopefully provide more clarity, and we urge anyone with information to come forward.

Local Accident Reports extends our sympathies to the injured pedestrian and their family, and we will continue to monitor this situation for updates as more information becomes available. We encourage all drivers and pedestrians to remain safe and cautious to help reduce the occurrence of such accidents.
