According to law enforcement, a 2012 Chevrolet Crossover was pulled over due to congestion ahead on B-Road south of Church Road in Oakland. For unknown reasons, the car was hit by a 2013 Ford Getaway and a Jeep. The jeep then fled the scene of the accident. Both the Ford and Chevrolet were badly damaged and had to be towed from the accident scene.
Three people were injured in the accident. The three victims, Kristin Zwer, 38, Ryan Zwer, 44, and Phyllis Caudle, 73, were taken to University Hospital for treatment. The accident is still under investigation.
We wish Ryan Zwer, Phyllis Caudle and Kristin Zwer all a speedy recovery following this accident.
Car Accidents in Missouri
Every year, car accidents occur in Missouri with devastating consequences for the victims. There are many factors that lead to accidents. Unfortunately, many of these accidents occur in crowded areas.
Most accidents that occur in traffic jams are due to driver error. When drivers get stuck in traffic, they can become frustrated and make poor decisions. For example, a driver may attempt to change lanes without looking carefully, causing an accident. Alternatively, a driver may tail another vehicle in an attempt to overtake, resulting in a rear-end collision.
Additionally, it can be difficult for drivers to see potential hazards when there is a lot of traffic on the road. For example, pedestrians may walk onto the street without even looking, and drivers may not stop in time. Or, a car might break down in the middle of the road and cause an accident.
Finally, accidents can happen in traffic jams simply because there are more cars on the road. When traffic increases, the chances of something going wrong increases.
