Gasconade, MO (January 11, 2022) – A young man was left with injuries following a motor vehicle accident in Gasconade County on Sunday afternoon, January 9. At around 3:55 p.m., authorities were called to the site of a crash on Krausetown Road.
Reports from authorities show that a 2006 Ford Fusion was involved in a crash on Krausetown Road just 1.5 miles east of Waters Edge Road. The impact of the crash sent the Ford off the side of the road where it struck a fence.
One person involved in the crash was injured. EMS transported 20-year-old Caleb Wright to Mercy Hospital in Washington for the treatment of injuries.
At this time, the incident remains under investigation.
Our thoughts are with Caleb Wright at this time. We hope for his full recovery.
Car Accidents in Missouri
Thousands of motorists are involved in collisions throughout the state of Missouri each year. Although not all accidents end in catastrophic injuries, a fair share of these accidents do force victims into area hospitals. 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.
The chances of suffering catastrophic injuries are greatly increased in accidents involving speeding vehicles, motorcycles, pedestrians, and semi-trucks. However, it is important to understand that various factors come into play when it comes to determining the severity of an injury a victim is likely to sustain.
To make the struggle even worse, towering medical bills start rolling in immediately. 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. 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.
When victims are harmed in accidents as a result of other motorists, our state allows them to file legal claims against wrongdoers to recover compensation for the financial burdens they endure. Victims can benefit immensely by consulting with a car accident attorney in Gasconade who is well-versed in personal injury laws in our state.
