Warsaw, MO – Two-Vehicle Crash on MO-83 at Rte MM Leaves Injuries

Warsaw, MO (April 6, 2025) – An evening drive ended in chaos on April 4 when two vehicles collided, leaving one woman hurt and prompting an EMS response. The crash occurred around 9:30 p.m. and involved a Chrysler Town and Country and a Ford Fusion. The vehicles sustained moderate damage and were towed from the scene by Tollivers. One of the passengers had to be transported to the hospital for additional treatment.

Authorities confirmed the accident took place on MO-83 at the intersection of Route MM in Benton County. According to initial reports, the 2006 Chrysler Town and Country was heading eastbound, driven by an 83-year-old man from Appleton City. The second vehicle, a 2008 Ford Fusion, was traveling southbound and driven by a 43-year-old Warsaw resident. The woman injured in the wreck, a 50-year-old from Osceola, was riding in the Chrysler when the vehicles collided. EMS from Warsaw/Lincoln responded and transported her to Golden Valley Hospital. Both drivers were wearing seatbelts at the time of the crash.

We hope everyone hurt in this wreck makes a swift recoery.

Car Accidents in Missouri

Car accidents in Missouri can happen at any hour and on any roadway. In 2023 alone, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported over 131,000 crashes statewide. Of those, nearly 5,000 resulted in serious injury, and over 1,000 were fatal. Benton County sees its fair share of these incidents, especially on rural highways and lesser-traveled routes.

Crashes like this one are reminders of how lives can be impacted in an instant. Let’s take a closer look at some common injuries people experience after a wreck:

• Whiplash and Neck Injuries: These are some of the most common outcomes after a rear-end or side-impact collision. They may not always show symptoms right away but can lead to long-term pain or limited mobility if left untreated.
• Broken Bones: The force of a crash often results in fractures. Whether it’s a wrist braced against the dashboard or a leg trapped during impact, broken bones often require surgery and lengthy recovery.
• Internal Injuries: Damage to organs or internal bleeding may not be immediately obvious at the scene. Quick medical evaluation is vital, as internal trauma can become life-threatening without intervention.
• Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs): Any blow to the head during a crash could result in a concussion or more serious TBI. These injuries can affect memory, coordination, and even mood long after the accident.
• Emotional and Psychological Trauma: Mental health issues like PTSD, anxiety, or depression may follow a crash—especially if the event was particularly frightening or painful. These conditions deserve just as much attention as physical injuries.
