Highway Collisions in Missouri
Highway accidents, especially in areas with high-speed traffic and frequent intersections, pose a serious risk to drivers. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) emphasizes the importance of remaining alert, reducing speed in congested areas, and following proper right-of-way laws to prevent collisions.
Rural highways like those in Newton County, where Westview is located, often have limited lighting and fewer controlled intersections, increasing the likelihood of accidents involving lane crossings and merging traffic. Even a momentary lapse in judgment can lead to a severe crash, especially when vehicles are traveling at high speeds.
For those injured in highway crashes, seeking immediate medical care and documenting the incident is crucial for their recovery and any potential claims.
