Head-on collision injures two in Jefferson County, Missouri

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

A two-vehicle Missouri car accident on Dulin Creek Road in Jefferson County sent two people to the hospital this afternoon.

The two drivers that were involved were Patrick Demsko, 44, and Brian Barner, 32, both of House Springs, Missouri.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, Demsko was traveling northbound on Dulin Creek Road in a 2003 Dodge Caravan when he crossed the center line of the road. Barner was heading south at the time in a 2002 Chevrolet K20. Demsko?s vehicle crashed head-on into the front of Barner?s.

Demsko was flown to St. John?s Hospital in Creve Coeur for treatment. Barner was taken by ambulance to St. Anthony?s Medical Center.

Fortunately, both drivers involved in this wreck were wearing a seatbelt.

The description of this Missouri injury accident on the Highway Patrol?s initial crash report is very brief. There are no details about why Demsko?s vehicle would?ve crossed the center line. If one of the drivers contacts a St. Louis area personal injury lawyer he will have to expand the details of crash by gathering any witnesses and possibly performing an accident reconstruction.
