A three-vehicle crash on Friday, March 6 in southwest Missouri injured seven people, with a 26-year-old Sedalia woman sustaining the most serious injuries. The accident occurred when a pickup truck driven by a 75-year-old Warsaw man made a left turn into the path of the woman's SUV, which then collided with the pickup and a Jeep driven by a 28-year-old Bolivar man.

Why it matters

This crash highlights the importance of seat belt usage, as the Sedalia woman and the occupants of the pickup truck were not wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident, leading to more severe injuries. It also underscores the dangers of unsafe driving maneuvers, such as making left turns without proper precaution, which can result in devastating collisions.

The details

According to the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the Sedalia woman was driving her SUV northbound on Route 13 around 4:30 p.m. when the Warsaw man's pickup made a left turn from the southbound lanes onto a county road and into her path. The SUV struck the pickup, causing it to collide with the Jeep. The Sedalia woman, who was not wearing a seatbelt, sustained serious injuries and was taken to a Bolivar hospital. Two passengers in her SUV received minor injuries, while the Warsaw driver and passenger, as well as the Bolivar driver, were also treated for minor injuries.
