Failing to exercise the due care in the operation of a vehicle as required under Missouri law can have serious consequences.  Sometimes those consequences include serious personal injury or even death.  Authorities report that 20 year-old Michael Flint was driving westbound in highway 32 when he swerved into oncoming traffic to avoid another vehicle in his lane that was turning into a private residence.  This dangerous maneuver caused a head-on collision between Flint and 18 year-old Barry Cahill of Salem Missouri.  Cahill sustained catastrophic personal injuries in this car crash and was rushed to Salem Memorial Hospital for emergency treatment.  Flint was pronounced dead at the scene of the crash.

Swerving around turning traffic on a two-lane highway is extremely risky.  The Missouri injury lawyers at Schultz Legal Group handle these types of cases on a regular basis because, unfortunately, motorists just don't appreciate the danger involved in not exercising patience.  Serious personal injury and death are common results, as was the case here.  Both families are now forced to deal with a Christmas tragidy that probably could have been completed avoided had careful driving habits been used.
