State Fair Sea Lion Show Canceled Due to Crash in Boone County
Organizers have announced that the Sea Lion Splash that was originally planned has been canceled due to the truck hauling the sea lions getting in a traffic accident in Boone County Thursday morning.
Missouri State Highway Patrol posted on social media that the crash happened around 3:00 a.m. this morning on westbound I-70, at the 133 mile marker.
Four people were in the tractor trailer, including one who was taken to University Hospital with moderate injuries.
The three sea lions were taken to the MU Veterinary Health Center to be evaluated and await their owner, although they reportedly did not appear hurt.
