Kansas City, MO (November 21, 2022) – A traffic accident took place in Clay County on Saturday evening that left three people injured. On November 19, the Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the scene of a crash on Interstate 35.
At around 10:45 p.m., a 2014 Buick SUV was traveling on the southbound side of Interstate 35 when it became involved in a collision just south of Armour. The vehicle went off the right side of the roadway and crashed into a guardrail before striking a road sign. The vehicle was totaled as a result of the accident.
Three people sustained injuries in the crash. The three victims, 39-year-old Melissa Lawson, 39-year-old Joshua Lawson, and 37-year-old Danielle Standley, were treated at the scene.

Car Accidents in Missouri
Being involved in a crash can change your life in an instant. There are many cases where people are left with significant injuries as a result of collisions that take place in our state. Although no two accidents are alike, there are similarities in the injuries that victims are left with following crashes.
Internal bleeding, head injuries, and broken bones are some of the most common injuries that result from car accidents. While these injuries can be minor in some cases, they can also be life-threatening.
Internal bleeding occurs as a result of punctures to vital organs, which can be caused by objects striking the body during a crash. Head injuries occur when the head is hit by an object or when the brain strikes the skull in a violent manner. Broken bones occur when force is applied to a bone that exceeds its strength.
All of these injuries can be extremely serious and even fatal in some cases. If you or a loved one has been involved in a car accident, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. Seeking timely care for the injuries that you have suffered can help to ensure that they do not become life-threatening.
