Labor Day Weekend Proves Deadly for Missouri Car Wreck Victims
The Missouri Highway Patrol reported that 10 people in Missouri were involved in fatal car crashes over the Labor Day weekend. Four of these crashes happened in the St. Louis area. There were a total of 320 car crashes state-wide over the weekend.
On holiday weekends, there are more Missouri drivers on the road, which necessarily results in more Missouri car crashes and wrongful deaths. It is extremely important to follow the speed limit and give yourself plenty of time to make the trip without resorting to speeding. Increased speed has been show to directly correlate to an increase in the severity of personal injuries a person will sustain in a car crash.
