Two people were injured after a semi tractor-trailer carrying 32,000 boxes of saltine crackers struck a sport utility vehicle on Highway 136 near Unionville, Missouri, a KTVO3 report states. Missouri Highway Patrol officials say the semi, driven by a 50-year-old Iowa man, hit an SUV that was stopped in traffic in an attempt to make a U-turn. The SUV rolled over and came to rest on its top. The driver of the SUV, a 29-year-old Missouri man, was taken to an area hospital with injuries, as was the driver of the tractor-trailer. However, neither suffered serious or life-threatening injuries, the report stated.
In any truck accident case, it is extremely important to get a qualified and experienced Missouri truck accident lawyer on your side as soon as possible. Why is time of the essence? Truck companies work hand in hand with their insurance companies. Within minutes of the truck accident, their representatives will be on scene. They’ll send out their investigators to the crash scene, very often, even before the police are done with their investigation.
What trucking companies try to do is protect their interests and dodge liability. They do not want to be held accountable for the actions of their employees.
