Woman injured in Lincoln County crash

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Liberty White, 29, was injured in a Missouri car accident when her vehicle crashed into another on Highway 47 on Monday morning.

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, White was driving a 1993 GMC Jimmy northbound at the time of the injury accident. A 1999 Ford Expedition, driven by Marilyn Smith, 66, was backing out of a private driveway onto the highway. According to the initial crash report, Smith failed to yield to White and pulled in front of her SUV. White was unable to avoid the collision.

White was taken to Lincoln County Medical center for treatment. Smith was not listed as injured in the report.

If Smith was at-fault for the accident, her liability insurance will pay for the damages sustained by White. While the initial crash report says Smith failed to yield, this is just the opinion of the investigating officer and will need to be corroborated by further investigation should liability be disputed. If you have been involved in a similar accident and have some questions about how to handle your case, contact a Missouri car accident attorney as soon as possible.
