Missouri Woman Injured in Truck Accident Near Perryville

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Tracy Rauls, 37, was injured Friday afternoon in an accident with a tractor-trailer on Highway 61 near Perryville, Missouri.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Rauls was traveling north in a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu when a southbound tractor-trailer, driven by Travis Obritsch, 32, attempted to turn and cut in front of Rauls? car. Rauls was unable to avoid crashing into the side of the truck.

Rauls was airlifted to St. Francois Hospital in Cape Girardeau. Obritsch was uninjured, according to the highway patrol report.

One out of every eight Missouri car wrecks involves a large truck of some kind. Because of their size, accidents involving tractor trailers often result in serious personal injury, as was the case in the Perryville crash. Tractor-trailer accidents can also be complex to handle legally with different Federal rules and regulations to interpret. For this reason, it is important to contact an experienced personal injury attorney who understands both Federal and Missouri state motor carrier laws.
