A 67 year-old Trimble, MO woman was killed October 3, 2011 on Fightmaster Road in Clay County, MO. The crash occured north of Route W. The victim drove her 2006 GMC vehicle off the left side of the roadway and struck a tree. The car driver was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Missouri State Highway Patrol that the investigation into this fatal crash is ongoing.
This tragic crash occured at approximately 9:10 a.m., in the midst of the morning rush hour. As a St. Louis Missouri accident injury attorney, my heart goes out to the friends and family of the individual involved in this crash. I see numerous vehicle crashes that occur at all times of the day and night but rush hour is definitely the most common time for such crashs. There are so many distractions that can claim our attention away from the road. I encourage all drivers to use extreme care and caution while operating vehicles but especially during the morning hours.
