Warrensburg, MO – Two Hurt in Crash on N College Ave and E Culton St

Warrensburg, MO (April 14, 2025) – A two-vehicle collision sent both drivers to the hospital late Saturday evening after one car reportedly failed to yield, causing a crash at the intersection of North College Avenue and E Culton Street.

On April 12, a 2014 Ford Fusion and a 2020 Ford collided around 9:45 p.m., according to Missouri State Highway Patrol. The wreck occurred in Johnson County, and both vehicles sustained heavy damage. The Ford Fusion was traveling northbound, while the other vehicle was heading westbound when the crash happened. Authorities say the driver of the Fusion, a 20-year-old man from Defiance, did not yield the right-of-way and struck the second vehicle.

Emergency personnel from the Warrensburg Police Department, Johnson County Sheriff’s Office, and Missouri State Highway Patrol responded to the scene. The driver of the Fusion suffered minor injuries and was transported by police to Western Missouri Medical Center. The 23-year-old driver of the second vehicle, a Warrensburg resident, was also taken to the same hospital with moderate injuries. Both were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash. Crews worked quickly to clear the intersection and tow the vehicles. The crash remains under investigation by Troop A and other assisting agencies.

We hope both individuals hurt in this accident make a full and smooth recovery.

Car Accidents in Missouri

Car accidents in Missouri are all too common, especially at intersections where right-of-way rules are violated. According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, there were over 131,000 traffic crashes in the state in 2023, resulting in more than 47,000 injuries. Many of these accidents involved young drivers and occurred during nighttime hours, just like this one in Warrensburg.

Every crash comes with its own set of challenges. Here are several common types of injuries accident victims may experience:

• Whiplash and Soft Tissue Injuries
  One of the most frequent results of rear-end or side-impact collisions is whiplash. This type of neck injury can be painful and long-lasting. Soft tissue injuries may not show symptoms right away, making it vital for victims to seek medical attention immediately.
• Broken Bones
  High-impact crashes often result in fractures, especially to arms, legs, and ribs. Recovery from broken bones can take weeks or months, potentially requiring surgery or physical therapy.
• Head and Brain Injuries
  Even with seatbelts and airbags, victims can suffer concussions or more serious traumatic brain injuries. These injuries can have lasting cognitive and emotional effects.
• Internal Injuries
  Damage to organs or internal bleeding might not be apparent at the scene. Without timely medical evaluation, these injuries can quickly become life-threatening.
• Psychological Trauma
  Accidents don’t just hurt physically. Many victims deal with emotional stress, anxiety, or even PTSD in the aftermath of a serious crash.
