Missouri River Bridge accident closes I-70 eastbound

Traffic on I-70 eastbound came to a standstill Saturday evening after a two-vehicle crash on the Missouri River Bridge. According to a Missouri State Highway Patrol crash report, a 34-year-old Ballwin woman was driving a 2022 Hyundai Elantra eastbound when the car hydroplaned and hit a guardrail near mile marker 113.

A 28-year-old Kansas man, driving a Kenworth T680 semi-truck, ran into the vehicle and the semi then jackknifed, flipped on its side and hit the concrete median barrier, the report says.

The woman sustained moderate injuries and was transported to University Hospital.

Both vehicles were totaled.
