Pleasant Hill, MO (September 3, 2024) – The Missouri State Highway Patrol was summoned to the scene of a motor vehicle accident in Cass County that sent two victims to area hospitals with injuries.
At around 5:15 p.m. on September 1, a motor vehicle accident involving a 2001 Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck occurred on Smart Road near 167th Road. The impact of the crash caused the vehicle to go off the side of the roadway and overturned. The pickup truck was totaled in the accident and had to be towed from the scene. A 17-year-old male and 18-year-old Tyler Watson, both of Pleasant Hill, were injured in the crash. EMS transported both victims to Belton Regional Hospital for emergency care. At this time, the incident is under investigation.
We hope Tyler Watson and the teen injured in this crash recover quickly.
Car Accidents in Missouri
Every year, many drivers in Missouri are involved in collisions that lead to serious injuries requiring hospitalization. Unfortunately, injuries such as bone fractures, brain trauma, and spinal cord damage are all too common, and they can have lasting impacts on those affected. The consequences of motor vehicle accidents extend far beyond physical and emotional harm, often placing a heavy financial burden on the victims.
The costs associated with medical treatment and vehicle repairs can quickly add up, leading to significant financial strain. This burden is often made worse by the loss of income that many victims experience during their recovery period. For some, the reality of permanent disability means they may never be able to return to work, further exacerbating their financial difficulties. This is why it is crucial for those injured in accidents caused by another driver’s negligence to seek legal advice as soon as possible. Compensation may be available to help cover both immediate medical expenses and long-term costs.
