Hawk Point, MO. Police Chief Killed in Crash; How Can Serious Injury Be Prevented When You Know You're Gonna Crash?

Anyone can be involved in a car accident.  Even the most experienced drivers can be involved in a serious injury accident if they aren't driving safely.  An accident over the weekend in eastern Missouri is a prime example of how a fatal accident can occur when you least expect it.

A Hawk Point Missouri Police Chief was killed in a single vehicle auto accident on Friday.  According to reports from the scene of the accident, 37 year old Paul Fricke was on duty at the time when he lost control of the car he was driving.  He went off the road one way, then over-corrected, which caused him to veer of the road in the other direction and crash into a utility pole.  It was unclear if Officer Fricke was involved in a pursuit at the time of the crash.

We would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of the victim in this tragic accident but we hope it serves as a lesson to all motorists in Missouri and Kansas to always practice safe and attentive driving technques whether you are driving on city roads or our state highways.
