Several Carl Junction Residents Seriously Injured in Three-Car Missouri Automobile Crash
16 year-old James Ellis caused a major pile-up on Route JJ near Carl Junction Missouri yesterday evening. Authorities report that Ellis skidded into the back of a new Toyota Scion being driven by Tammy Farmer. Ms. Farmer was preparing to make a left turn into a private drive when Ellis rear-ended her and pushed the Scion directly into oncoming traffic. Three people in the Scion were seriously injured: Tammy Farmer, Katie Hardcastle and Zach Hardcastle were taken by ambulance to St. Johns Hospital in Joplin Missouri for treatment of their serious personal injuries. This hospital is one of the only Level-1 trauma centers serving the Joplin area.
Farmer's Scion was struck head-on by a Honda being driven by 20 year-old Jeremy Hubbard. Officers report that Hubbard was unable to avoid the surprise of Farmer's car being suddenly pushed directly into his lane of traffic. 20 year-old Michael Pope was riding as a passenger in Hubbard's Honda and both he and Hubbard sustained serious personal injuries. Jeremy Hubbard sustained catastrophic (life-threatening) injuries and was flown by helicopter to Freeman West Hospital in Joplin where he is listed in critical condition. All three vehicles involved in this automobile crash were completely damaged and had to be removed by a wrecker.
It appears as if one person's inattention is the root cause of this automobile crash which resulted in serious injury to several Missouri motorists. Missouri State Highway Patrol officers have decline to comment on whether citations will be issued in this case but their investigations continue. Often times in a crash involving catastrophic personal injury, authorities will conduct post-scene investigations that result in criminal prosecution. Don't wait for authorities to determine liability. Contact Missouri accident and injury attorney Stephen Schultz and the experienced lawyers at Schultz Legal Group on your side!
