Howell County Missouri Crash at Highways 17 and 142- Looking for Witnesses

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

On August 27, 2009, a downed stop sign at the intersection of Highways 17 and 142 in Howell County, Missouri resulted in a terrible tractor trailer crash. My personal injury law firm has been retained to represent the injured people in this crash.

Based upon tire marks in the mud, it appears a large truck knocked the stop sign down while turning the corner.

We are reaching out to anyone who can provide information about this stop sign. We would like to know the following:

1. Can anyone identify the truck that knocked down this stop sign?
2. When was this stop sign knocked down (how many days or hours prior to this crash)?
3. Did anyone see the crash on August 27, 2009 at this intersection?
4. Is this stop sign knocked over on a regular basis?
5. Did anyone notify MODOT (the Missouri Department of Transportation) about the downed stop sign prior to, or after, this crash?

On behalf of my clients, I very much appreciate anyone who has information to come forward. Please contact me at 314-518-8321 or ryan@thebradleylawfirm.com if you have any information about this downed stop sign.
