traffic accident patrol patch

Eric S. Pratt, 38, of Arnold was injured on Memorial Day in a four-vehicle accident on the West Outer Road north of Rhodes Drive just south of Arnold, the Missouri State Highway Patrol reported.

At 8:45 p.m. Monday, May 30, Nicholas K. Finney, 25, of Imperial was headed north in a 2007 Ford Explorer on the West Outer Road and struck the rear of a northbound 2017 Chevrolet Sonic driven by a teenager who had stopped for traffic ahead. Then, a northbound 2014 Toyota Camry driven by Pratt struck the rear of the Explorer, and that collision pushed the Camry into the southbound lane, and the driver side of the Camry struck the driver side of a southbound 2018 Buick Encore driven by Gwendolyn S. Speer, 54, of Imperial, the report said.

No injuries were reported for Finney, the 17-year-old Imperial girl or Speer.

Pratt, however, was moderately injured, but no information was available about whether he was transported to an area hospital for treatment.

He was not wearing a seat belt, and all the other drivers were wearing them, the patrol reported.

The Camry and Encore were totaled, and the Explorer and Sonic were extensively damaged, the report said.

The patrol did not release the teen’s name because she is a juvenile.
