Woman Seriously Injured in Accident Involving a Semi-Truck on Highway 54 in Callaway County, Missouri


CALLAWAY COUNTY, Mo. — A woman was seriously injured Thursday morning in a collision with a semi-truck on Highway 54 at Route T.

The Missouri State Highway Patrol reported the crash involved a 2012 Nissan Juke and a 2021 Peterbilt 579. Investigators said the semi-truck was attempting to cross westbound Highway 54 when the Nissan struck it.

The driver of the Nissan, a 34-year-old woman from Emden, sustained serious injuries and was taken for medical treatment.

The injured party deserves answers

Truck drivers must always keep in mind the massive size and weight of their vehicles compared to passenger cars and the harm that can result when basic safety rules are ignored. In situations where trucks are required to yield the right of way,  truckers must only proceed when it is safe to do so.

When truck drivers fail to take these precautions and their actions cause serious harm, they must be held accountable.

Our thoughts are with the injured woman and her family. In cases like this, experienced truck accident attorneys can help those injured and impacted find the answers they deserve.
