Richmond, MO – Rear-End Crash on MO-10 at Leathers Rd Injures Two

Richmond, MO (June 14, 2025) – Authorities responded to a two-vehicle crash on Missouri Route 10 at Leathers Road at approximately 2:45 p.m. on June 13. At least two individuals were injured and transported by EMS to Ray County Memorial Hospital.

According to reports from the Missouri State Highway Patrol, the crash occurred when a 2023 Kia K-5, driven by a 22-year-old woman from Camden, began turning without signaling. An eastbound 2014 Ford F-250, driven by a 38-year-old man from Richmond, collided with the rear of the Kia. The impact resulted in extensive damage to the Kia, which was towed by R & L Shoemaker. The Ford sustained moderate damage and was removed by Green’s Towing.

The 22-year-old driver and a 50-year-old female passenger in the Kia both suffered minor injuries. EMS transported them to Ray County Memorial Hospital for further treatment. The driver of the Ford was not reported injured. Authorities from the Ray County Sheriff’s Department assisted at the scene, and the investigation remains active.

We hope those injured in this accident recover swiftly.

Car Accidents in Missouri

Car accidents continue to be a significant safety concern across Missouri. Each year, thousands of crashes lead to injury or death, often involving preventable errors like failure to signal or misjudged turns. These crashes highlight the importance of cautious driving and the need for accountability.

One aspect of car accidents that is often overlooked is the way injuries can impact everyday life:

• Whiplash and soft tissue injuries: Rear-end crashes frequently cause whiplash, neck pain, and soft tissue damage. While initially mild, these injuries can affect mobility and require weeks of recovery. Medical evaluations are key after any impact.
• Post-accident anxiety and emotional distress: Being involved in a crash can leave lasting emotional impacts. Victims often report stress or anxiety when returning to the road. Addressing mental health is just as important as physical recovery.
• Missed work and lost wages: Even minor injuries may require time off from work. This can lead to financial strain, especially if the injured party doesn’t have paid leave. Compensation claims help offset these losses.
• Insurance challenges and disputes: Victims often face challenges when dealing with insurance companies. Delays or low settlement offers can stall recovery. Having support to handle these issues can make a difference.

If you were involved in a collision, especially one where the other driver failed to follow traffic rules, now is the time to act. Every accident deserves a closer look—starting with your story.
