The Missouri Highway Patrol reported a serious head-on Missouri car accident that resulted in catastrophic personal injuries and one death.  Preliminary reports indicate that a Chevy being driven at a 'high rate of speed" by James Trent of Hgginsville, Missouri, crashed into a Buick, resulting in both vehicles leaving the roadway.  The Buick was being driven by Tracy McCain of Warrensburg.  McCain sustained life-threatening injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene of the car accident.  This Missouri car accident took place in broad daylight, around lunchtime on July 15th.  Authorities are still investigating the circumstances of the crash, as civil and criminal charges may be brought.

The prosecuting attorney must have probabe cause to charge anyone with a crime committed with a vehicle.  Comon charges in this respect include:  vehicular manslaughter, vehicular negligence, and involuntary manslaughter.  When a car accident results in a fatality, the police report is typically much more detailed and therefore can take several days, or weeks, to complete.  During that time, it is critical for injury victims and their families to diligently work hard to secure and preserve evidence that maybe relevant to both criminal and civil claims.
