23 year-old Ste Genevieve native Robert Whittu sustained serious personal injuries in a automobile crash near White Sands Missouri.  The crash occurred on December 7th as Whittu was driving his Ford Fiesta on Sugar Bottom Road when a Ford Mustang, being driven by 16 year-old Trentin Parker, crossed the centerline and struck Whittu head-on.  The collision was extremely violent, causing severe damage to both vehicles.

41 year-old Deborah Yarbrough was riding as a passenger in Whittu's car and also sustained catastrophic personal injuries.  Yarbrough was taken by Air EVAC Lifeteam to St. John's Medical Center in St. Louis.  St. John's Medical Center is one of the only Level-1 trauma center's in eastern Missouri.  Whittu was taken by Arch helicopter to St. Louis University Hospital.  Both persons are listed in serious condition.

Authorities have not reported why 16 year-old Bloomsdale resident Trentin Parker crossed the centerline of traffic and caused this head-on collision.  Although a common cause of crossing over the centerline is inattention and failure to keep a proper lookout ahead.  These causes are also presumptions that this driver may be considered as being negligent per se due to Parker's failure to observe and comply with Missouri's Statutory Rules of the Road.  To learn more about your causes of action against a Missouri driver who has been 'negligent per se' Missouri accident and injury attorney Stephen Schultz for a personal consultation.  Get the experienced injury lawyers at Schultz Legal Group on your side!
