23 year-old Nicole Bennett was killed in an automobile accident on Highway 5 just north of Valley Road in Morgan County Missouri yesterday.  Authorities report that Bennett was riding in a 1999 Pontiac being driven by Aaron Cutshaw of Gravois Mills Missouri.  Also riding as a passenger in the same vehicle was 31 year-old William Shewmaker, who sustained serious personal injury in the car accident.  The crash happened around midnight, and reportedly Cutshaw ran his vehicle off the road, where it then struck a stop sign and overturned, ejecting Nicole Bennett. 

The surviving family members of Nicole Bennett may have a wrongful death claim against Aaron Cutshaw for his negligent operation of a motorvehicle.  Bennett's parents and loved ones shoudl consult with a Missouri Wrongful Death Attorney to determine what type of wrongful death action to claim.  Death claims in Missouri are governed by the Missouri Wrongful Death Statute.  William Shewmaker may also have a personal injury claim against the driver of the vehicle.
