It happened on southbound US-61 at Creech Lane.

LINCOLN COUNTY, MO – A two-vehicle wreck Thursday evening on U.S. Highway 61 near Troy left a 77-year-old Illinois man seriously hurt, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

The accident happened on the southbound lanes of US-61 at Creech Lane and was first reported at around 6:55 p.m.

Officials said a 57-year-old woman from Frankford was driving a 2021 Chevrolet Equinox eastbound on the highway from Creech Lane when she failed to yield to a 2024 Isuzu box truck traveling southbound. Moments later, the box truck’s front bumper collided with the front bumper of the Equinox. The impact caused the box truck to run off the roadway’s west side and roll onto its driver’s side as it came to a south-facing stop. Meanwhile, the Equinox came to a rest with its wheels facing east.

The driver of the box truck, a resident of Pittsfield, Illinois, suffered serious injuries. He was transported to SSM St. Joseph West.

Both vehicles were totaled in the wreck.
