Three Killed and One Injured In Crash Near Liberal, Missouri
A two-car crash on Missouri 43 Sunday night killed three people and left one seriously injured, according to the Missouri Highway Patrol.
The investigating officer said that both drivers, Jesse Neal, 32, and Marya Toler, 50, were killed and Daniel Toler, 48, a passenger, was also killed. All were pronounced dead at the scene.
According to the patrol report, Neal’s 2007 Chevrolet pickup crossed the center line and struck Toler’s 1998 Mercury head on.
A daughter of the Tolers, Rebecca Toler, 26, was flown to St. John’s Hospital in Joplin where she was listed in serious condition.
It is not known what caused Neal’s vehicle to cross the center line. Since there were fatalities, the highway patrol will do an accident reconstruction to understand what led to this tragic accident. This will involve looking at on-board data recorders as well as examining tire skid marks and debris to determine all the specifics of the crash.
After fault is determined, a personal injury attorney will be needed to help the family of those involved recover damages. Whenever someone is injured by another person’s negligence, the liability insurance of the party at-fault is required to pay for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering, and any disability that results from the accident. Since these matters are very time sensitive, it is important to contact an experienced Missouri personal injury attorney as soon as possible.
