Car-Semi Truck Accident a Harsh Reminder to Kansas City Motorists of Dangers That Come From Running Red Lights

We've all had days where, for whatever reason, we are running late.  What does the average motorist do?  Speed?  Sure.  Run a red light or fail to make a complete stop at a stop sign?  Possibly.  Whatever you do to make up for lost time, remember your actions dictate road safety, not only for you, but for other motorists as well.

 

In Burbank, Washington last week, a car ran a red light and collided with a semi-truck that was trying to enter a highway.  The accident happened U.S. Highway 12 and State Route 124.  Both the driver and passenger in the car were hospitalized with serious injury while the truck driver walked away from the accident unharmed.

 

At Roswold Law Group, our experienced Kansas City Trucking Accident and Injury Attorneys are always reminding motorists on the dangers of breaking the traffic laws.  Running red lights and/or stop signs and speeding are sure ways of causing very serious accidents which often lead to catastrophic injury and death for everyone involved.

 

If you are running behind, remember it is always better to be late to your destination than to not arrive at all.  Far too often motorists in Kansas and Missouri think they can judge crossway traffic and try to run lights in an attempt to save time.  What they don't consider is blind spots that may shield their view from cars, motorcycles and semi-trucks, who may be traveling at speeds higher than they realize.  Give yourself plenty of time to get where you're going or have an alternate route in case you get slowed by traffic.

 

We'd like to encourage all Kansas City motorists to always practice safe and attentive driving techniques in order to keep the roads safe for everyone.  Drive Safe.  Drive smart.
