St Francois, MO (December 10, 2021) – Two people were transported to Parkland Health Center in Farmington for the treatment of injuries following a crash in St Francois on Tuesday afternoon, December 7.

Reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol show that at around 3:17 p.m., a 2010 Pontiac G6, driven by 29-year-old Breanna Elser, was attempting to make a left turn from Missouri State Highway 221 at the intersection of Buck Mountain Road. A 2000 Toyota Corolla entered the opposite lane of traffic in a no-passing zone in an attempt to pass the vehicle. As a result, they both collided.

The impact of the crash sent both vehicles off the left side of the road. The Pontiac crashed into a utility pole and came to rest on top of the Toyota.

The driver of the Pontiac, 29-year-old Breanna Elser, and her 7-year-old passenger were both injured. The two victims were transported to Parkland Health Center in Farmington via ambulance for care.

At this time, the incident remains under investigation.

Our thoughts are with Breanna Elser and the child who was injured in this accident. We hope for their full recovery.

Car accidents throughout the state of Missouri send thousands of people to area hospitals with injuries. Although some of these collisions are unavoidable, we continue to see numerous people sustain life-changing injuries as a result of the negligent or reckless actions of others.

People involved in collisions are often forced to spend tens of thousands of dollars on medical treatment and vehicle repairs while going without wages from work. Many victims require hospitalization and have to spend weeks or even months off work as they go through therapy and transition back into their normal routine. Even though many injured victims have to take some time off work to recover from their injuries, numerous victims are left permanently disabled and unable to return to work after.
