Another Reminder About Traffic Safety

This latest incident comes during a period that has seen several serious crashes in and around the St. Joseph area. In recent weeks, local emergency responders and the Missouri State Highway Patrol have investigated multiple significant collisions, including several involving motorcycles and crashes that resulted in serious injuries or fatalities.

While every crash has different circumstances, motorcycle accidents often lead to more severe injuries because riders have far less protection than those inside passenger vehicles. Visibility, speed, distracted driving, failure to yield, and roadway conditions can all play a role in these types of collisions.

With summer traffic remaining busy, officials continue to encourage drivers to:

• Watch carefully for motorcycles before turning or changing lanes.

• Eliminate distractions while driving.

• Leave extra following distance.

• Slow down in congested areas and intersections.
