Carolyn Summerall killed, 5 others injured, in St. Genevieve County crash

On Saturday, August 11, six travellers from Memphis, TN, were involved in a deadly single-car accident on I-55 in St. Genevieve County. Ms. Carolyn Summerall, 44, was killed in the incident.

The accident began at approximately 12:06 AM, when the vehicle the six individuals were travelling in suffered a sudden mechanical failure that forced them from the road, and ultimately causing their vehicle to flip onto it’s side.

Daniel Camp, Kiara Chambers, Chiaro McGowen, and Christopher and Demario White, all suffered injuries ranging in severity from minor to life threatening. Mr. Camp suffered minor injury. He was not wearing his safety belt at the time of the accident.

Neither Ms. Chambers nor Ms. McGowen were wearing their safety belts, and both suffered serious, life threatening, injuries. Both young women had to be transported via helicopter to nearby hospitals for emergency medical care.

Authorities believe Christopher and Demario White were wearing their seat belts at the time of the incident, though both men also suffered significant injury and had to be transported to area hospitals via helicopter.

It is always unfortunate when a traffic accident ends in the loss of a life. We at the law offices of Kevin J. Roach extend our sincerest condolences to the family and friends of the parties involved.
