Missouri State Highway Patrol responded early this morning to a single vehicle crash on Highway 133.  At approximately 2:50 AM, 18-year-old Alex Jacobs was driving north on Highway 133 when he traveled off of the roadway.  Jacobs' overcorrection apparently caused his vehicle to overturn, injuring himself and 2 passengers Donald Jacobs 19, and Bridget Neel 16.  All three occupants reside in Jefferson City and were rushed to nearby hospitals to be treated for their injuries.  Donald Jacobs and Bridget Neel were flown by emergency helicopter for more severe injuries.  It is unknown at this time what triggered the vehicle Jacobs was driving to travel off of the roadway.  As a Missouri car accident lawyer, we can only use the facts documented in a police report to judge what could have caused a crash.

One can speculate with the given vague details of the crash that factors such as tiredness while driving, alcohol, or driver inexperience could have been contributing circumstances to a crash such as this.  Again, at this early stage we can only speculate; however, an Osage County car accident lawyer will likely use a vast team of expert investigators to obtain FACTS of each and every crash we work.  If you or a loved one have been injured as a result of a careless driver - in the same vehicle as you or not - call us today and we will immediately begin investigating your potential claim.

Single vehicle motor vehicle crashes follow the same guidelines multi-vehicle crashes do.  There is a contributing factor of negligence in any incident, no matter how many vehicles are involved.  Passengers in a motor vehicle who sustain injury after a collision may have legal options to pursue.  Obtaining recovery for medical bills, lost wages, and future losses are a few of the areas we as Missouri personal injury attorneys explore to fully compensate the injured.  We look forward to the opportunity of speaking with you and working on your behalf.
