Missouri Motorcycle Accident Causes Serious Injury

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Glen Hartless, 25, was seriously injured Thursday after a crashing his motorcycle into another vehicle in Park Hills, Missouri.

According to the highway patrol, Hartless was traveling westbound on Highway 32 when a 2003 Chrysler Sebring, driven by Helen Wakefield, 80, turned into his path. Hartless struck the vehicle and was thrown from his motorcycle.

Hartless was taken to Mineral Area Hospital. Wakefield was treated for minor injuries at Parkland Hospital.

Most Missouri motorcycle accidents occur when drivers in other vehicles fail to notice the person on the motorcycle. Often the driver will turn into the path of the motorcycle or merge into it when changing lanes.
