Fatal Car Accidents at the Lake of the Ozarks

We rely on automobiles for daily transportation, and we are so accustomed to using them that we rarely think about the very real dangers that they present. That is, not until we (or people we know and care about) are in a serious accident.

Traffic fatalities are among the most tragic accidents to occur at the Lake of the Ozarks (and around the rest of the country). In spite of drivers’ best intentions, roadway fatalities are far too common. Because the Lake Area is such a popular tourist destination, local car accidents can affect people of all ages and from multiple surrounding areas. Deputy & Mizell, LLC is here to examine some of the statistics for local fatal accidents so far in 2016. (Data taken from the Missouri State Highway Patrol.)
