I agree hwy 97 has become a nightmare at times to drive. I can say 100% without a doubt she was not on her cellphone. I had to dig in her car to find her purse and then dig all through her purse to find it. That phone was hidden deep in her purse. I didn’t say the actual wreck. I just stopped to help and ended up trying to keep her calm until fire and ems got there. She was a very fortunate lady that she wasn’t hurt worse than she was. She definitely could use lots of prayers for some things she told us. So please pray for this lady

97 is dangerous we live off Wiggins Lake and we sure need more police between the school and Nokomis Rd. Our tax money is out the window for the cop shop that mo one uses.

Hwy 97 can easily handle 65mph in most areas and that’s typically the speed I drive, although that isn’t fast enough for some, and they still will blow right past me doing 80.

I don’t think the problem is speed in a majority of cases though, the problem is people staring at their phones and not paying attention. This accident happened on a perfectly straight section of road, and there’s absolutely no reason anyone should lose control of their vehicle unless they are not paying attention.

I common problem I do see is someone poking along doing 50, and then there’s a line of 5 or 6 cars behind them. Eventually someone gets fed up and tries to pass all of them at once which is very dangerous. People who are driving slow and have a long line of cars behind them should find somewhere to pull over and let the others by. These slow drivers are actually more dangerous than the speeders.

Not knowing all of the factors in this case it’s hard to speak to specifics.
One thing is fairly obvious and the driver Must have been wearing a SEAT BELT because that highly injurious word “EJECTED” was NOT Used.

Seat Belts Save Lives
