McDonald County, Missouri Tractor Trailer Accident on Highway 59
On August 21, 2007, Jonathan Wolfe lost control of his tractor trailer rig on Highway 59 in McDonald County, Missouri when going around a curve. According to the highway patrol, his truck and trailer crossed the center line when the towed unit detached from the tractor and overturned onto Bruce Wilkins' car. Mr. Wilkins was taken to Freeman Hospital in Neosho, Missouri where he was treated for serious personal injury.
In this truck crash, it is clear the driver of the tractor trailer was traveling too fast for conditions. In addition, there may have been some problem with how the trailer was attached to the tractor unit. When the Wilkins hire a Missouri personal injury lawyer, he or she will need to hire an expert to look at the vehicle to determine if an improper connection caused this car crash.
