Man, 75, sent to hospital after crash involving big rig on I-70 near St. Charles

A tractor-trailer veered out from its lane, causing a multi-vehicle collision.

ST. LOUIS COUNTY, MO – A 75-year-old man was injured Thursday morning as a result of a multi-vehicle wreck on Interstate 70 near St. Charles, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The collision took place on the westbound highway near St. Charles Historic District, at about 8:48 a.m.

Officials say a 39-year-old Spring, Texas man was operating a 2006 International Harvester westbound when the semi hit the left side of the victim’s 2015 Toyota Prius, which was also traveling westbound. The initial impact sent the Prius sliding and rotating counter-clockwise until it entered lane 1, in the direct path of a 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer driven by a 30-year-old Florissant man, causing the second crash. The Prius then went off the left side of the roadway until its front-end slammed into the concrete traffic barrier.

The driver of the Prius, an O’Fallon resident, was transported by St. Charles Fire Department crews to SSM Health St. Joseph Hospital – St. Charles. His injuries were described as minor.

While no injuries to the other drivers were reported, the Prius was totaled and the Trailblazer sustained “extensive” damage. The International had minor damage following the crash.
