Clinton, MO (November 9, 2023) – The Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the scene of an automobile accident that occurred in Henry County and ended in injuries.
At around 5:50 p.m. on November 7, MS HP troopers were called to the scene of an accident on Missouri State Route 7.
According to reports, a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado and a 2016 Honda Civic were stopped as a result of the crash on the highway just south of Route C. For unknown reasons, a 2010 Chevrolet H HR failed to slow down and crashed into the rear of the Chevrolet Silverado. The impact of the collision forced the Chevrolet ahead of where it collided with the Honda.
Two people were injured as a result of the crash. The two victims, 66-year-old Edward Hawkins and 74-year-old Chester Douthit, were transported by Golden Valley EMS to Golden Valley Hospital for emergency care.
At this time, the incident is being investigated.
We hope Edward Hawkins and Chester Douthit recover quickly following this crash.
Car Accidents in Missouri
Being involved in an accident can impact every aspect of your life. Unfortunately, it is common for people in our state to be left with serious physical and emotional injuries as a result of automobile collisions. Far too often, victims are left with spinal cord injuries, broken bones, and traumatic brain injuries as a result of their accidents.
Even though most drivers are careful while operating their vehicles on Missouri roadways, there are many instances where people are harmed in accidents due to the careless actions of others. We see many accidents take place as a result of speeding drivers, drivers who are operating their vehicles while under the influence, and drivers who simply fail to yield.
