Fenton woman killed in crash with dump truck

Holly McIntyre, 39, was killed earlier Thursday morning when she was involved in a serious dump truck crash.

According to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the accident occurred on Gravois Road at I-270. McIntyre was exiting the highway onto Gravois when the truck hit her car. The truck, which was owned by Missouri American Water and hauling gravel, then overturned, seriously injuring the driver.

McIntyre failed to yield to the truck as she exited the highway just before the fatal truck accident, according to the Post Dispatch report.

McIntyre died at St. Anthony's Medical Center. The truck driver, whose name has not been released, was also rushed to a local hospital for emergency treatment.

Since there was a fatality, an accident reconstruction will follow to definitively describe the series of events that led to this tragic incident.

 

Missouri Truck Accident Lawyer

At The Bradley Law Firm, our team of Missouri truck accident attorneys are experienced in cases involving catastrophic injuries and wrongful death claims as a result of negligent truck drivers and the hiring companies. Figuring out who to hire after a devastating injury can be very confusing. A tractor trailer crash poses complex issues involving both federal and state law. Our injury lawyers keep up to date on the most recent proposed legislation, laws, rules and regulations affecting the trucking industry. It is imperative the personal injury attorney you choose has significant experience in this very specialized area of law. Lawyers who handle truck cases like big car accidents are not only doing a disservice to their clients, they are likely committing legal malpractice.

Unfortunately, our lawyers have seen first-hand how negligent truck drivers and companies who routinely violate federal safety regulations permanently disable, disfigure and kill innocent men, women and children. This blog is dedicated to prevention of these needless injuries and deaths by educating the public about truck crashes, how they happen, how to avoid them, and exposing the underlying causes of truck accidents and the truck companies who routinely violate the rules.

Truck accident litigation is what we do. We have a demonstrated track record of success. Our Missouri injury attorneys have successfully collected multi-millions of dollars in awards for victims. We hope this blog will be a valuable resource for prospective clients and referring attorneys when deciding who will best represent their interests.
