What We Know: The family of an 18-year-old motorcyclist who died after a Shannon County crash is taking Mercy Health and two ambulance crew members to court.
What It Means: The wrongful death lawsuit involves Dakota Rector, whose motorcycle collided with a Mercy ambulance on Missouri Route 19 in March.
The lawsuit alleges the ambulance turned across the centerline and into Rector’s path.
What’s Next: His parents also claim Rector was still alive after the crash, but was covered with a sheet before being properly assessed.
