Personal Injury Law

One killed and one injured in Mid-Missouri car accident

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Milton Jensen, 78, is dead after a three-car accident Friday afternoon on Highway 63. The accident also injured Keith Kempker, 33, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The crash report says the Missouri car accident was caused when Jensen attempted to cross southbound Highway 63 in a 2002 GMC and pulled directly in the path of Kempker?s 2003 Ford. Kempker broadsided Jensen?s car and sent it off the roadway. Kempker?s vehicle remained in the roadway and rolled into 2007 Toyota, driven by Donna Evert, 64.

Jensen was flown to University Hospital in Columbia where he was pronounced dead. Kempker was taken to University Hospital in an ambulance and his injuries were described as moderate. Evert did not sustain any significant injury, according to the investigating officer.

Whenever a death is involved in a Missouri injury accident, the Missouri State Highway Patrol will perform an accident reconstruction to determine the exact events of the crash and which drivers are at fault. The data from this investigation will be used by a personal injury lawyer should a suit arise from the crash.
