A serious Jefferson County car accident temporarily closed Highway 30 early Saturday morning.  The crash took place in the westbound lanes of Highway 30 in Imperial Missouri as a Ford Taurus was being operated by 44 year-old Harrison Lane was traveling in the wrong direction.  68 year-old Virgil Isaak of Dittmer was traveling westbound on Highway 30 and apparently did everything he could in attempting to avoid the head-on crash.  Isaak was seriously injured in the head-on collision and was transported to St. Anthonys Medical Center directly from the accident scene.  Both cars sustained total damage in the crash and had to be picked up by a local wrecker service.

Head-on collisions caused some of the most catastrophic injuries of any type of impact.  Only the broadside, or "t-bone", type car accident causes similar bodily injury.  Even low-speed head-on collisions can caused soft-tissue injuries.  These types of injuries can progressively get worse as time goes on, which is why it is critical to seek appropriate medical care, starting at the accident scene.  Selecting the appropriate physician is also important.  For example, soft-tissue injuries require the attention of a orthopedist and neurologist.  Seeking care from a chiropractor is not advised, at least not until an orthopedist and neurologist has had the opportunity to first diagnose the root injury.
