FRANKLIN COUNTY, MO – Four people from the town of Washington were hurt Friday afternoon due to a multi-vehicle wreck on State Route 47 near Union, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The accident unfolded on the southbound lanes south of Clearview Road at around 5:30 p.m.

Officials said a 39-year-old woman from St. Clair was driving a 2019 Kia Sportage southbound on the highway when she became distracted. Shortly after, the front-end of the Sportage hit the back of a 2011 Toyota 4Runner, which was stopped in traffic.

The 4Runner was then sent crashing into a 2019 Ford Expedition, which was also stopped in traffic. The Kia came to rest off the roadway’s right side.

First responders transported four people from the 4Runner to Mercy Washington for minor and moderate injuries. Those patients include the 54-year-old male driver and his three passengers: two women aged 23 and 50, and a man aged 18.

No injuries to the causing driver or the driver of the Expedition, a 32-year-old man, also of Washington, were reported.
