Passenger Maureen Johnson Hurt in Vehicle Crash on Country Ridge Drive [Camden County, MO]

Camden County, MO (August 5, 2024) On Friday evening, 54-year-old Maureen Johnson and Jeffrey Johnson both from Camdenton were hurt in a Solo-Vehicle Crash on Country Ridge Drive.

According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol (MSHP), the vehicle crash happened on Country Ridge Drive at the Marina Residence Drive intersection.

Reports say that a golf cart, driven by a 14-year-old boy from Varna Illinois, went off the road and overturned. All 5 passengers of the vehicle were ejected off the golf cart.

Medics say that Maureen suffered serious injuries and was transported to Lake Regional Hospital by ground ambulance, meanwhile, 59-year-old Jeffrey sustained minor injuries although he declined transport.

Authorities are investigating the horrific crash.

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.
