A serious automobile collision occurred in Pulaski County this morning at approximately 8:00 a.m. near Waynesville Missouri.  Rhona Gaither of Waynesville Missouri was driving her Dodge Neon South on M17 when she crossed over the centerline of traffic and collided head-on with a car being driven by Leroy Vanderhoof, of Laquey.  45 year-old Vanderhoof was rushed to Phelps County Regional Medical Center by ambulance.  Vanderhoof sustained serious personal injuries, but they are not believed to be life-threatening.  Four people in Rhonda Gaither's car sustained personal injuries as well.

Crossing the centerline of traffic is a common cause of serious personal injury and wrongful death in Missouri.  Our injury lawyers have represented countless injury victims and family members of those killed by a negligent driver who crossed the centerline and caused a head-on collision.  Many times, the other driver had less that one second to react to the car crossing the centerline, which is often not enough time for the victim to take the evasive action required to avoid the collision.
