Callaway County Car Crash - 11/7/2025

A 44-year-old Eldon man is seriously hurt after he crashed his UTV around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday in Miller County, according to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report. The report states the man was riding a 2015 Polaris Razor with a 17-year-old Eldon boy on Spring Garden Road, east of Short Road. He made a right turn, causing the UTV to flip onto its left side. The man was taken to Lake Regional Hospital by ambulance with serious injuries. The teen was taken to St. Mary's Hospital by ambulance with moderate injuries, according to the report. The report states they were wearing helmets at the time of the crash. The UTV had minor damage. UTV accidents are often far more serious than people realize, particularly when these recreational vehicles are struck by a full-sized car or truck. The limited protection UTVs offer—combined with their open design and lighter frame—can lead to catastrophic injuries, including broken bones, spinal trauma, and even fatalities. These incidents frequently happen when drivers of larger vehicles fail to see UTVs on rural roads or underestimate their vulnerability.

A patrol car crash left one person seriously injured Wednesday on East Elm Street at Clark Avenue in Jefferson City. According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol report, the accident happened around 4:33 p.m. when a Ford pickup truck driven by a 37-year-old man was making a left turn and a Zhejiang Dongpai moped driven by a 59-year-old male was traveling across the roadway. The front of the Ford pickup truck struck the side of the moped leaving the 59-year-old man seriously injured, according to the report. MSHP said the 37-year-old was wearing a seatbelt, while the 59-year-old was not wearing a helmet. The 59-year-old was taken to University Hospital in Columbia by Cole County EMS. Moped accidents can result in devastating injuries, especially when a rider is struck by a larger vehicle. Because mopeds are smaller and offer little to no protection, riders are at high risk of suffering head injuries, fractures, or severe road rash in a collision. Many of these crashes occur when drivers fail to check blind spots or misjudge a moped’s speed on busy streets.

A 65-year-old man was flown to University Hospital in Columbia on Thursday evening after a crash was reported on Highway 7 in Camden County near Granger Lane, according to a crash report from the Missouri State Highway Patrol. The report says a 2020 Chevrolet Silverado – drive by a 63-year-old Lake St. Louis man – was heading southbound when it crossed the center line and hit a 2022 Ford Maverick heading in the opposite direction. The Ford was driven by a 65-year-old man from Edwards, Missouri. The Ford then crossed the center line and hit a 2018 GMC Acadia head-on, the report says. The GMC was driven by a 21-year-old woman from Brumley, Missouri. The Chevrolet went then off the right side of the road and hit a tree and the other two vehicles also went off the side of the road. Head-on collisions are among the most dangerous types of car accidents, often resulting in life-altering injuries or fatalities due to the force of two vehicles colliding directly. These crashes frequently occur on rural roads or highways when a driver crosses the center line, drives the wrong way, or is distracted or impaired. The impact can cause severe trauma such as brain injuries, fractures, and internal damage, leaving victims facing long recoveries and significant financial burdens.

Two vehicles were involved in a fatal crash on Sunday in Camden County. The Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP) reported that a 2011 Chevrolet Impala was traveling north on Route M, just north of Dry Hollow Road. Around 11:04 p.m., the Chevy crossed the center line and struck a semi-truck head-on. The 19-year-old male from Steelville, Mo., who was driving the car, was pronounced dead at the scene at 11:57 p.m. by the Camden County Medical Examiner. Head-on collisions on two-lane highways can be catastrophic, especially when one of the vehicles involved is a semi-truck. The narrow lanes and lack of barriers leave little margin for error, and when a massive truck crosses the center line or a smaller vehicle drifts into oncoming traffic, the results are often tragic. The sheer size and weight of a semi can cause devastating injuries or fatalities even at moderate speeds, leaving survivors with lasting physical and emotional trauma.

When most people think of personal injury claims, they picture physical harm—broken bones, surgeries, or lasting physical disabilities. But not all injuries are visible.

At Finder Law, LLC, we know that emotional injuries are just as real—and just as life-altering—as physical ones. Here’s what you need to know about recovering for these damages in Missouri.
