Koshkonong, Missouri Native Killed on Route P in Oregon County Missouri Car Accident
A Missouri ATV accident claimed the life of Gerald Andrews on September 27, 2007. Mr. Andrews was operating a Kubota Mule all terrain vehicle on Route P in Oregon County, Missouri when a car operated by Frank Hentz crashed into him from behind. The force of the car wreck caused Mr. Andrews to be ejected from the ATV.
Mr. Andrews was transported by Air Evac, a helicopter ambulance service, to St. John's Hospital in Springfield, Missouri where he later died from serious personal injuries. Our deepest condolences go out to Mr. Andrews’s family.
Extra caution must be taken when operating farm implements and all terrain vehicles on Missouri's roadways. Farmers and their employees have a right to use Missouri's roadways. Slow moving vehicles like this Kubota Mule pose extreme dangers to their operators and others. Please take extra caution and be completely aware of your surroundings at all times, especially during harvest season in rural areas.
It is unknown if the Andrews family has retained a Missouri personal injury lawyer to file a Missouri wrongful death lawsuit or make an insurance claim against Mr. Hentz.
