Tractor trailer head-on collision in Richmond Missouri Leaves Passenger in Critical Condition
A 1999 Kenworth truck was involved in a head-on tractor trailer crash with a 2000 Ford F-150. The 33 year-old driver of the Kenworth was not injured. However, a passenger in the Ford F-150 sustained serious injury according to the Missouri Highway Patrol. Apparently both vehicles were traveling towards each other on Long Lake Road when they collided and ended up resting in a ditch near 10 Highway. Both vehicles were completely damaged.
No report has been issued as of yet on why the two vehicles crashed into each other. In any truck crash or automobile crash, it is critical to obtain witness information at the scene so that witnesses may be contacted for statements. Without witness statements, the occurence becomes a "he said, she said" situation where fault may not be easily determined. Victims involved in these types of crashes should NOT give the defendant's insurance company a recorded statement.
In the event of a head-on collision, the attorneys at Schultz Legal Group often retain accident reconstructionist experts to assist in determining the cause of the crash itself. After all, police departments often do not initiate a reconstruction unless fatalities are involved. Accident reconstruction experts are expensive, especially good ones with a solid amount of experience. Our law firm will hire these and other experts on our clients behalf, and only charge fees if we are able to collect money for our clients. If you have been injured in a head-on truck crash or automobile collision, call St. Louis injury attorney Stephen Schultz for a case evaluation.
