According to a crash report investigated by Trooper Coffee, at approximately 8:40 a.m. on January 17, a tractor-trailer swerved to avoid an oncoming vehicle, crashing into a building on MO 37.
Eastbound in a 2016 Nissan Sentra, Rebecca Lynch, 52, of Republic, failed to yield at the intersection across from Mike’s Auto Care, pulling into the path of a southbound 2019 Peterbilt Tractor Trailer. The driver, Larry Lyons, 49, of Exeter, then swerved into Southwest Family Dental, off the east side of the highway.
Both vehicles sustained extensive damage, and Lynch was transported via ambulance to Cox South Hospital in Springfield.
