Unfortunately, intersection accidents are a fact-of-life for motorists across the world; as roadways become more intricate and complex, intersections will always remain. Outside of outright avoiding a street intersection, motorists must first train themselves to drive in a safe and careful fashion as to best avoid potential Missouri car accidents.
