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.
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 & KMIZ.
