Missouri woman killed in Bobcat loader accident

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Geralyn Mulcahy, 47, was killed Saturday evening when a Bobcat construction vehicle backed over her on the HLR Motorsports race track in Moberly, Missouri.

According to the investigating officers, Mulcahy was walking on the race track at around 7:45 p.m. when a Bobcat Skid-Steer Loader, driven by Steven Halterman, backed over her. Halterman had been doing maintenance work on the track.

Mulcahy was taken to the Moberly Regional Medical Center where she was pronounced dead.

An investigation into the incident is still underway. No charges have been filed yet.

A personal injury attorney will need to examine the specifics of this tragic accident, but if the Bobcat driver is found to have been negligent in operating his vehicle, Mulcahy?s family may be entitled to collect damages. It is not known why Mulcahy was on the track or whether she was expected to be there during the maintenance work.
