Camden County, Missouri car accident injures three

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Three people were injured Wednesday afternoon in a two-car Missouri accident on Highway 5 near Camdenton, Missouri.

The accident occurred when a 1997 Ford, driven by Cecil Warren, 44, attempted to make a left turn onto Highway 5. According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, a 1988 Toyota, driven by David Johnson, 45, struck the side of Warren?s car as it tried to make the turn.

Warren was seriously injured and taken to Lake Regional Hospital. Johnson suffered less serious injuries, but still required treatment at Lake Regional. A passenger in Warren?s car, Lisa Essery, 43, was also hurt and taken to University Hospital in Columbia.

Warren and Johnson were wearing seatbelts while Essery was not.

The best thing those involved can do for themselves is secure the help of a Missouri car accident attorney. It is not clear from the initial crash report who would be at fault in this accident and more investigation by a qualified personal injury lawyer will be necessary to prove negligence. Factors such as the speeds of both vehicles will be discovered to expand upon the initial crash report and get a clearer view of the accident
