JEFFERSON COUNTY, MO – An 11-year-old child was injured due to a single-vehicle wreck Monday evening, January 6, on Interstate 55 near Barnhart, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The accident happened on the southbound lanes north of State Highway M, at around 6:40 p.m.

A preliminary investigation found that a 44-year-old woman from Cordova, Tennessee, was driving a 2015 Buick Encore southbound in lane 3 of the southbound highway. At one point, for reasons not immediately specified, she lost control of the vehicle, causing it to slide off the roadway. Moments later, the front-end of the vehicle struck the concrete median.

While the driver was not reported hurt, her passenger, an 11-year-old boy, suffered minor injuries. He was transported by ambulance to SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children’s Hospital.

Officials indicated that both occupants were wearing their seat belts at the time of the wreck. The Buick Encore sustained minor damage but had to be towed from the crash site.

No charges or citations have been announced at this time.
