By James Roswold | October 22, 2021

The life of a child is so precious– and it is not uncommon for a community to rally around such popular child– such was the case with a teen boxer of of KCK.  The 15 year-old girl was killed in a tragic rollover car crash on I-35 near Antioch Road in Overland Park, Kansas. The recent fatal car accident happened when a Chevrolet Blazer traveling southbound on I-35 veered onto the right shoulder. The driver overcorrected and the vehicle overturned.  The Kansas City, Kan. teen was killed in the one vehicle crash.  According to KC Police, she was not wearing a seat belt. She was pronounced dead at the scene.

As experienced Kansas City Auto Injury Lawyers, we know rollover accidents can be fatal for everyone involved.  In fact, rollover accidents claim over 10,000 lives every year.  This is truly a shocking statistic and one that can’t be ignored.  Over-correcting is a common cause of rollover accidents in Kansas and Missouri.  Over correction can be a deadly reaction to avoid an accident and almost usually makes your situation worse.  Remember if you begin to lose control to take your foot off the gas and gently steer your vehicle back into correction.  Suddenly cranking the wheel can cause your vehicle to rapidly lose control.
