A single-vehicle wreck one mile south of Purdy on Highway 37 claimed the life of Jarett T. Crouthamel (19), of Lampe, Sunday morning, April 4.
Crouthamel was killed when the southbound 2007 Chevrolet Silverado he was driving left the right side of the roadway and overturned. He was pronounced deceased at the scene at 4:29 a.m..by Barry County coroner, Gary Swearingen, and his body was transported to Fohn Funeral Home.
The totaled Silverado was towed by Brice's Towing, of Cassville.
Two passengers in the vehicle, Trey G. Sturgell (21), of Cassville, and Cade O. Hammen (23), of Purdy, suffered moderate and serious injuries, respectively. Sturgell sought his own treatment. Hammen was taken by ambulance to Cox South Hospital.
None of the three were wearing a safety device.
The crash, which was investigated by Msgt. J. Givens, of the Missouri Highway Patrol, was the 28th fatality accident for Troop D this year.
A benefit for the Crouthamel family was held Tuesday, April 6, at Four State Stockyards in Exeter, where Cade Hammen, one of the injured men, is a co-owner. A feeder calf and cow donated by local livestock owners and bags of feed donated by the Exeter Feed Store were auctioned off for the fundraiser. Those interested in making a donation may contact Four State Stockyards at 417-835-3000.
Cade Hammen’s mother, Kim, reported that her son is still in the hospital, but is expected to make a full recovery. Trey Sturgell, the third young man involved in the accident, was walking on crutches, but was present at Tuesday’s livestock sale.
“We are blessed to live in such a close community where people are willing to help each other out in times of need,” Kim Hammen said.
A second benefit auction for the Crouthamel family is planned for Saturday, April 10, at the Jerry Barke Benefit Auction at 405 Rail Street in Crane, where Crouthamel had planned to participate as a member of the Spring Creek Saddle Club.
