The Jeep Wrangler came to rest on its top, facing southeast on the west side of Caldwell Road. The Dodge Dakota came to rest on its top, facing northeast north of NW JC Penney Drive.
A serious collision occurred at the intersection of JC Penney Drive and Caldwell Road, located two miles west of Hamilton in Caldwell County. The incident took place on Saturday at approximately 6:45 PM, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
Cpl. V.R. McBride responded to the scene upon receiving the emergency call. The collision involved a 2007 Jeep Wrangler and a 2004 Dodge Dakota, both of which were totaled during the crash.
The driver of the Jeep Wrangler, a 16-year-old male from Hamilton, Missouri, escaped with only minor injuries. The driver was not transported to a medical facility due to being a juvenile whose identity has been withheld.
However, Joshua J. Morrison from Cameron, Missouri who was driving the Dodge Dakota suffered serious injuries as he wasn't wearing his seat belt during the accident. He was taken by private vehicle for treatment at an unknown medical facility.
According to preliminary investigations, it is believed that the northbound Jeep Wrangler collided with the westbound Dodge Dakota that failed to yield at the intersection of Caldwell Road and NW JC Penney Drive.
The intersection where this happened is non-controlled. Such intersections are particularly difficult for drivers who are unfamiliar with their surroundings, or if there are obstructions blocking a driver's view when approaching the intersection.
Two unidentified passengers were reportedly in the Dodge Dakota at the time of the collision, but their whereabouts have yet to be determined.
Assisting Cpl. V.R. McBride were Trooper T.N. Garton and Caldwell County Sheriff’s Department who helped clear up debris from both vehicles so that traffic could resume as usual on this busy intersection once again without any further delays or accidents happening due to it being blocked off for too long a period causing inconvenience to drivers passing through there regularly.
