ST. LOUIS, MO – Two people, including a 6-year-old child, were hospitalized Thursday morning due to a two-vehicle crash on Interstate 70 near south Bridgeton, reports the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The incident took place on the westbound lanes of I-70, past Missouri Route 180, at around 6:10 a.m.

According to MSHP troopers, a 47-year-old Caseyville, Illinois, man was driving a 2002 Honda Civic westbound and too fast for the wet road conditions at the time. At one point, the Civic hydroplaned and hit the guardrail along the right shoulder. The Civic was sent across the roadway and into the back of a westbound 2023 Buick Encore driven by a 29-year-old St. Louis woman.

Officials said the St. Louis woman and her passenger, a 6-year-old boy, were transported to Mercy Hospital St. Louis for minor injuries.

The Honda Civic and the Buick Encore sustained total and extensive damages, respectively.
