Missouri State Highway Patrol state that Floyd Bowman of O'Fallon Missouri ultimately caused a serious collision last week that resulted in the deaths of Bruce Cannon of Winfield and Earl Fetters of St. Charles.  The crash happened on Highway 79 as Bowman attempted to pass a vehicle resulting in a catastrophic chain of events.  Bowman was uninjured in the crash. Both Cannon and Fetters were pronounced dead at the scene by St. Charles County authorities.  Bernice and Michael Fetters both sustained personal injuries in the crash and were taken by ambulance to St. John's Medical Center.  As you can see, both cars were totalled.  To read more about this story, visit STLTODAY.com.













































Passing on this stretch of Highway 79 in St. Charles County can be particularly dangerous and motorist must take special care to allow for adequate time to clear a slower-moving vehicle without causing others to lose control of their cars in the process.  The deaths of these two men could possibly have be avoided if Bowman would have exercised the care required by Missouri law. 

The families that suffered this horrible loss would benefit from the advice of a Missouri wrongful death lawyer, especially since the Missouri Wrongful Death Statute is particular in who/when/how claims can be brought against a negligent party.  Visit the Schultz Legal Group website for helpful information on this topic.
