Accused Attackers Apologize After 63-Year-Old Man Beaten Following Missouri Crash
Police say Lance Jeffries suffered blood clots and a swollen jaw after a minor crash turned into an assault, and the investigation remains active.
On Saturday, 63-year-old Lance Jeffries, a retired truck driver, was assaulted in Jennings, Missouri, following a minor traffic collision; he was unable to provide officers with a statement at the scene.
After rear-ending another vehicle, Jeffries exited his car to check on the occupants, who reportedly became angry and began yelling before attacking him.
Jeffries remains hospitalized with a swollen jaw and blood clots in his leg and stomach from being kicked during the violent encounter.
Daughter Valancia Jeffries stated her father is in "a lot of pain" and requires surgery while the family pleads for justice against the suspects.
St. Louis County Police continue investigating the active case without immediate arrests, urging anyone with information or video of the assault to contact law enforcement.
