Camden County Car Crash - Fatality - 11/7/2025

Finder Law Serves Clients Across Jefferson City, Columbia, and Central Missouri

November 7, 2025

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. Victims of crashes like these or other car accidents can call Daniel Finder at Finder Law, LLC for legal representation.


All facts of the incident are based on preliminary reporting done by The Missouri State Highway Patrol & KRCG.
