Man from St. Charles Killed in Three Car Crash on Thursday Night
A three vehicle crash on Thursday night resulted in the death of St. Charles man Michael Prater, 33. The accident, which occurred in Franklin County on Highway 100, was the result of a car, driven by Nicole Feldmann, crossing the center lane. Feldmann hit Prater, causing Prater to spin across the highway and be struck by a pickup truck, driven by Terry Robinson. While the other drivers sustained minor to moderate injuries, Prater suffered critical injuries. He passed away on Thursday evening at St. John’s Mercy Medical.
My thoughts and prayers are with the Prater family. I wish them the utmost strength as they endure these hard times.
I also hope that his family can get the treatment they deserve from the insurance company. In order to do so, it will be important for them to contact an attorney who is experienced in wrongful death situations. There are a few possibilities as to the cause of the accident—one of which may be a violation by the driver who originally hit Michael. If that driver had been breaking the law, like driving while distracted or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, the nature of Michael’s death will be clearer.
It is hard to negotiate with the insurance company when you are under the stress of losing a loved one. The Prater family would be well-advised to contact an attorney to help them navigate their way through this painful time.
