Missouri man in serious condition after South St. Louis car accident

By Ryan Bradley, Esq.

Michael Eades, 46, was seriously injured Tuesday morning after an accident involving three vehicles on Interstate 270 near Gravois Road.

According to the initial crash report, Eades was heading north on I-270 in a 1996 Dodge Neon alongside a 2001 Ford Expedition, driven by Robert Haul, 54. Haul attempted to change lanes, but lost control of his vehicle and crossed into the path of both Eades? car and a third vehicle, a 1996 Dodge Avenger driven by Sarah Kapri, 28. Eades attempted to avoid the collision, but his car made contact with both Haul and Kapri?s vehicles.

Eades was taken to St. Anthony?s Medical Center for treatment. While their vehicles were damaged, neither Haul nor Kapri suffered serious injury, according to the investigating officer of the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

What complicates this case from a car accident attorney?s perspective is the fact that there were three vehicles and the initial crash report is not clear as to exactly what transpired. The drivers involved would be well advised to seek the counsel of a St. Louis area personal injury attorney who will be able to investigate the case and determine who is liable for the damages.
