Fatal Missouri crash still being investigated

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

A Missouri car crash that killed four people on March 21 is still being investigated by authorities and the final report may not be ready for months.

The accident in question is one that we commented on involving several international students from Eastern Illinois University. The accident took place on Dougherty Ferry road when Christine Miller, 41, who was driving her car the wrong way in traffic, crashed into the side of a 1997 Honda Accord killing four of its passengers.

Miller and the driver of the second car, Nitesh Adusumilli, 27, were the only ones to survive wreck. Among the dead were Anusha Anumolu, 23; Satya Chinta, 25; Anita Lakshmi, 23; and Prya Muppvarapu, 22.

According to the Eastern Illinois University news website dennews.com, the Highway Patrol is investigating where Miller was prior to the crash. It is suspected that she had been drinking before the accident.

Miller may face criminal charges, especially if it can be proven that she was drinking prior to the crash. The information gathered in the final report could also be used by a St. Louis personal injury attorney should a civil lawsuit arise from this tragic accident.
