Injury accident in central Missouri sends two to hospital

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Morgan Folks, 19, and Robert Holland, 57, were both injured when the cars they were driving collided Thursday afternoon at the intersection of Route A and Route C in Camden County, Missouri.

According to the Missouri Highway Patrol?s initial crash report, Folks was traveling westbound on Route A in a 2005 Volkswagen and Holland was traveling southbound on Route C in a 2001 Lincoln as both vehicles approached the intersection. Holland attempted to make a left turn onto Route A and in doing so, pulled directly into the path of Folks? car. The front end of Folk?s car crashed into the front end of Holland?s.

Folks suffered serious injuries and was flown to University Hospital for treatment. Holland was taken by ambulance to Lake Regional Hospital with moderate injuries.

Both drivers were wearing seatbelts.

The wording of the initial crash report seems to indicate that Holland was negligent in pulling out in front Folks and caused this Missouri car accident. The initial report, however, is not very detailed and does not stand up as evidence should a personal injury lawsuit arise from this crash. An experienced Missouri car accident attorney will need to review all the details of the wreck before liability can be determined.
