58 year-old Cynthia Wolff was driving the family vehicle on on Westbound I-70 in St. Charles County Missouri when she was suddenly faced with another vehicle coming into her lane without a proper signal.  When she swerved to avoid the collision, her vehicle was caused to travel off of the left side of Highway I-70 and crash into a concrete median.  The impact caused both Cynthia Wolff and her 54 year-old husband Harold Wolff to sustain serious personal injuries.  Both persons were transported to St. Joseph's East (SSM Medical) for treatment for their personal injuries.  Authorities have been unable to track down the phantom vehicle that encroached into Cynthia Wolff's lane, which ultimately caused this car crash.

So what happens when a Missouri motorist swerves to avoid another vehicle, crashes, and their are personal injuries?  What if authorities cannot find the car that actually caused the car to crash?  The answer is tricky.  If authorities cannot located the "phantom vehicle", the the injury victims may be able to make a claim on their own insurance policy, under UNinsured motorist coverage.  Depending on how your insurance policy is written you may be able to actually get compensation from your own unisured motorist coverage for both personal injuries and property damage.
