Rear-end crash in Wildwood sends man, woman to hospital

Attorney Tor Hoerman, admitted to the Illinois State Bar Association since 1995 and The Missouri Bar since 2009, specializes nationally in mass tort litigations. Locally, Tor specializes in auto accidents and a wide variety of personal injury incidents occuring in Illinois and Missouri.

The collision happened on I-44 West and involved an SUV, semi-truck 

WILDWOOD, MO – A rear-end collision involving a 2019 GMC Terrain SUV and a 2010 Peterbilt 389 sent a man and woman, both 36, to a hospital Tuesday.

The crash happened before 3:30 a.m. on I-44 West at mile marker 260. Missouri Highway Patrol said the woman’s SUV had stopped unexpectedly in one lane. The semi-truck driver did not see the disabled vehicle in front and then hit the back of the SUV. Troopers did not confirm if the woman’s hazard lights were activated prior to the crash.

The impact led the man to sustain minor wounds and the woman to suffer serious wounds. Eureka Fire Protection transported the two to Mercy Hospital, where they are recovering.

Reader’s Note: Since November 2024, troopers have been omitting the names of those involved in car accidents. While MHP has not been able to state the occupants’ names, they were able to say that the man is from Lewistown, Illinois, and the woman is from Sullivan, Missouri. 

The circumstances leading to a crash look different for everyone. As such, it can be hard to pinpoint who was at fault. If you were injured in a motor vehicle collision, please don’t wait to reach out to our award-winning St. Louis car and truck accident lawyers at TorHoerman Law.
