Authorities report that 16 year-old Patrick Netthongkome rolled his Mercedes through a posted stop sign on Highway 30 in Springfield Missouri.  The incident caused a serious car accident resulting in numerous injuries.  Charise Reynolds and Kathleen Robertson had nowhere to go when the Mercedes pulled directly into their path.  Robertson's Ford Explorer was pulvarized when it broadsided Netthongkome's Mercedes.  The Missouri Highway Patrol could not confirm whether Netthongkome, who was not injured in the crash, was issued a citation for failing to observe a posted stop sign. 

Reynolds and Robertson, both natives of Brighton Missouri, sustained serious injuries and were transported to St. John's Medical Center in Springfield.  It was a typical busy Saturday evening at St. John's Hospital when the two arrived by ambulance at approximately 10:30 p.m.  Failing to obey a posted stop sign can result in criminal and civil charges.  In a subsequent car accident injury claim, a plaintiff can recover damages under a theory of negligence per se.  This legal doctrine is based upon a negligent driver's breach of his/her duty to operate a motor vehicle with the due care required by Section 304 of the Missouri Revised Statutes.
