Teen Airlifted in Leasburg Bicycle Crash
Leasburg, MO (September 16, 2024) – Driver Kathleen Christian, 68, of Sullivan, was involved in a bicycle accident on Highway H Saturday morning.
It was about 10:15 a.m. when the collision happened on the southbound freeway.
Troopers said Kathleen Christian was driving a 2014 Ford Escape when she traveled over the center of the road. The Ford Escape then struck a male 17-year-old bicyclist from Columbia.
The bicyclist sustained serious injuries and was flown to Mercy Hospital in St. Louis. Troopers said the victim was wearing a helmet at the time of the accident.
Approximately one third of all motor vehicle fatalities have been caused by speeding over the past two decades. As a matter of fact, speeding contributed to 29% of all traffic deaths in 2022.
Even when you are driving at the speed limit, driving too fast for road conditions, such as during bad weather, in areas that are not well lit at night, or on a road under repair, can affect your safety.
Speeding endangers not only the driver, but all the people on the road around them. It is a problem we all need to solve.
